It's the filter lists. Use the same filter lists with any other blockers which support ABP-filter syntax, and you will get the same result.

I have removed Fanboy's Social Blocking list from the pre-selected lists since a while now.[1]
I have to say that I had assumed -- wrongly obviously -- that all users knew that what is blocked or not depends completely on what filter lists are selected. So in your case it would have been a matter of un-selecting Fanboy's Social Blocking list.

- maxerickson 12y agoI wonder what would happen if you defaulted to 0 rules active, with a huge mention in as many places as possible that rules needed to be configured (and perhaps a short list of recommendations). I expect you would get more complaints, saying it was stupid and didn't work. But it would be interesting to see the outcome.
