Single handidly saving the internet

I used AdBlock successfully for years, and donated now and then in gratitude, but some disastrous thing I did online resulted in losing ALL my bookmarks and losing AdBlock. I have now reinstalled it, but unlike yesterday and years before, it is NOT blocking ads.

Can't disable the sometimes-multiple-daily "AdBlock Has Been Updated" message. Chrome steals app focus to present this new tab. If you're playing games, even exclusive fullscreen games, it will pull you out to show you this message. I have been killed more than once and crashed out of multiplayer lobbies because of this message that you can't disable. Seriously.
