Wasn't Adblock Plus the plugin to be shunned because they allowed certain ads as long as the advertisers paid them money? I remember a scandal like that a few years ago, but I might be mistaken since there are many similarly named plugins.
uBlock Origin didn't have this problem, which is why it got recommended so much.
You're not mistaken. They had a default enabled whitelist of advertisers that were paying them to be there. Basically a racket.
