Don't use AdBlock. The unobtrusive ads program is pay-for-play. Use uBlock Origin instead; it's available for Chrome, and it ships with an anti-anti-adblock list by default.

Or even better to use Brave browser it is secure and includes adblocker out of the box.

Brave is also adopting a pay-for-play ad blocking model. Not a very good alternative.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll check out uBlock Origin!

I would also consider testing latest Firefox. Firefox is not driven by data-collection as google (the entities that is), so they are more on the "anti-ad" side.
Latest versions even include a by-default adblocker and ghostery-like functionality.
Also, firefox have a small in-browser IDE which is (maybe not that useful for all of us) a cool thing! ;)
