Installed ABP Plus and it worked perfect .. Thanks :)

PS:- Why is Adblock more popular in the chrome store than ABP ?

Ok. And Does ABP blocks all the ads as Adblock did for me in chrome now that I've switched from Adblock to ABP?

sure, it works better and faster. More: it has more features and much better support ;)
be careful: don't use more adblockers, only 1.

repeat your test using my filters, keeping only easylist enabled

if still does not work, disable all other addons, keep only ABP, submit an issue report and then post here the report link
