My point is that like Firefox, Opera, especially Opera, and Maxthon they've sold-out to Google and their monopoly.
There are no good web browsers any more. Maxthon includes a built-in Ad-Hunter that doesn't block any google ads, and Google is its default search engine. At least you can easily change it to DDG, IX, SP, TPB or whatever you want. FF is worse - their default search engine is Google and you cannot change it in the standard settings. You have to go to about:config and good luck figuring that out. Opera is by far the worst - you cannot set the default search engine to one of Google's genuine competitors. You can add ixquick, startpage, etc but you cannot set any of your added search engine as the default, nor can you delete the default ones. Internet Explorer also sucks - you basically can't change your default search off Bing and if you do (manually in the registry) it has a way of putting it back on Bing without telling you. ABP is a sell-out. There is no way on God's earth you can call Google's ads "non-intrusive", it doesn't fit the definition at all in ABP's policy.
I don't typically use IE anyway, but the point is that every other web browser (Chrome is exempt because it's owned by Google) has sold-out to Google. Google has a complete monopoly on web browsers. And with ABP being the only Ad-blocking plugin available for IE they've found a way to exploit (monopolize) IE users as well.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
