OK. I finally realized I needed to click on support. But when I did, the development build shown under extensions, it is build 1.12.2.1666 that is displayed, not the 1.12.2.1667 mentioned at the link.

If you're referring to the outbrain stuff, if you add the Annoyances List does it help?

Don't know what the annoyances list is. If you could kindly explain, I would appreciate it. But what I was saying is that when I install the developer build by clicking on the chrome link under the support tab, it looks like the latest developer build is not installed, but rather the next-to-latest developer build. And the ads are still there.

Here is a screenshot of my extensions in chrome. You can see the development build shown is not the same build number as is shown at the chrome store site.

I'm afraid I'm failing the IQ test. I don't know where to find "development mode." I'm clicking on the link to the chrome store you provided earlier. Under "support" I do not see developer mode. Should I be looking someplace else?

I am still seeing ads at this point, although I don't think I actually have the latest development build as demonstrated in my screenshot. But still, how am I supposed to know whose ads they are? I don't see "outbrain" listed anywhere, for example. Am I supposed to click on one of the ads?

Finally, how are filter lists supposed to be updated? When you said I should save my filter list, not seeing a save option I edited the list as raw text, copied the filters, then pasted into a text editor. After clicking on the development install for chrome on the support site, I re-pasted my filters from the text file back into the raw text filter screen. Is that what you mean by updating?

You posted a screenshot (from extensions page). In that page click on "developer mode" (at the top on the right). Then click "update extensions now".

To update the lists: click ABP icon, options, "filter lists". Click "Update now".

Surprised no reply by now. Are these ads not capable of being blocked?
