Mm-hm, some web designers have gotten wise to ABP and started sniffing for it and generating warnings. I suppose the more evil ones could do worse than that.

It also goes the other way: some sites have badly written scripts that chew up a lot of CPU time, causing SM to generate a warning, but ABP allows me to block those scripts and make the sites tolerable. A good case of this used to be nhl.com, but lately I haven't had to update my ABP rules, so maybe they rewrote their scripts.

Note also that depending on which blocklists the user subscribes to, the performance of ABP can vary. So for example, if you subscribe to an English blocklist and visit a Chinese site, there will be few matches and a lot of ads will get through.
