While it works very well, Adblock itself updates almost daily, and when it does it always takes you to it's own site upon initial startup. This amounts to a pop-up ad all on it's own. Consequently, I've adopted a policy of only allowing it to install updates on "2nd decimal" updates only. This appears to eliminate most 'trivial' updates.
