I've been informed that adblock plus sort of sucks now. If you're looking for one, go for UBlock Origin.

Explanation by uBlock Origin's dev: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Why-don%27t-you-accept-donations%3F.
Fair play to the dev. At least they are totally upfront so you know you can actually trust the work as being unbiased.
And his reputation is solid. He passed on the original uBlock and its maintainer sold out so he went back and made uBlock Origin.
Nice of him to mention uBlock Origin is nothing without the maintainers of the block lists it depends on and somewhere else mentions people should donate to those instead. Nice to see some parts of the Internet are resisting the enshitification, or, in this case, actively fighting it.
