Seriously though, the experience of browsing with and without ABP is remarkable. Some sites are practically unusable without it. I for one don't mind the unobtrusive google-served text ads. Its the graphic, animated, and even worse those with sound that piss me off. Not to mention popups, popovers, popunders and all the other obnoxious crap that advertisers dish up.
Yup, running AdBlock, NoScript, HTTPS Everywhere & Privacy Badger is more effective than any anti-virus product that I've ever used. I do wonder though what Arcturus did or what malware he acquired to 86 his search bar like that?
