Two stars, because they used a popup tot get me to pay for a premium version. Guys... I use this to NOT get popups. I searched a bit and last year they said it was 'a one time test'. Clearly not. So I'm removing the extenstion.

I get you guys need donations to pay for things.. But you have to understand some of us are POOR - I'm DISABLED, I'm on SSI from Social Security Administration: I get $820 a month - My rent is $550, utilities $100, car insurance $70, Car fuel $60, Food $200-$300 a month (We have to go to a food shelf), you honestly think we can afford to pay a donations? We don't have that luxury! Adblock was great, the recent update showing a Donation Pop-Up on Web Pages is the PURE DEFINITION OF AN AD! Your scripts don't block half of the ads on websites I visit, and now you've turned ABP into an 'AD' IT SELF, If I ever win the lottery or my boyfriend gets a nice paying job, we are not going to donate because you ruined ABP.
