Google Reportedly Pays Adblock Plus To Not Block Google Ads

[RohanM]

It's a little bit difficult for companies to profit off of online advertising these days, especially when most Internet-savvy users are using services like Adblock to remove unwanted ads.

According to German site Horizont, companies may be getting around this by paying off Adblock Plus. Among these offending companies is tech giant Google, presumably to give its Google Ad service more user penetration.

IIRC I read about Adblock Plus asking companies to pay to unblock their ads ..

I still can't see any of the ads, but in some other systems, in which latest adblock is installed, I have seen some ads not getting blocked which apparently not happen with me.

Go to filter preferences, uncheck allow non-intrusive ads. I use ABP and disable it on sites I use often.
