Anyone else had problems with this extension?

The javascript code leaks like a screen door on a submarine and it really screws up image rendering. It's very noticable on pages that have many instances of the same graphic (like SF.com).

I hate ads, but I hate a screwed up browser worse.

Never a problem and I've got a bijillion filters in it.

Huh. I've had problems on 3 different machines on 3 different networks. Every time the problems were fixed by removing AdBlock.

What the hell? :mad:

If you've got Javascript leaks it's the interpreter's fault, no?

Turns out I was running a deprecated version.

I figured this out after reading the following on Wikipedia:

Another known frequent cause of memory leaks is misbehaving extensions, most notably Adblock.

It must, because I installed the latest version and the problems came right back. :(
