The other reason not to allow it (and to replace Adblock Plus with e.g. uBlock Origin) is that Adblock Plus decided they like money more than actually limiting themselves to unobtrusive ads, and were allowing the disgusting Taboola/Outbrain/Clickbrain clickbait (not sure which of the three it was, all the same garbage) to be shown.
The best part was that some websites had two versions, one more aggressive one, and a slightly toned down one. If you didn't have an adblocker, you got the first one. If you did, you got the second one, because apparently the ABP people did draw the line somewhere.
