While your default text doesn't exactly say that, what would happen if a user submitted your site to the adsense guidelines for that rule?

I've already clarified with them, their response was they in no way endorse or support Adblock Plus, and as long as you aren't encouraging to click the advertisements, then they do not care.

They despise abp, remember a few months back they removed abp off Google Play and Chrome market place?

This sounds about right. The latest news you can search on is Google is actually paying Adblock Plus to show some of their ads. Certainly would be more monetarily beneficial to Google if everyone used an add-on like this.

......

There are a couple issues in the CSS of this addon (v.0.3.2):

Need some quotes around the div id. This is currently stopping the new opacity change from working.

Code:

('<div id="stickymsg">

and the <strong> is not working correctly, I just went with a span style:

Code:

[s]<strong>[/s]<span style="font-weight:bold;">Adblock Plus</span>[s]</strong>[/s]

Also setting the cookie for 365 days seems excessively long. If someone is going to install this add-on they don't want users using an adblocker. If I understand it correctly once the first warning is closed a cookie is set, and with the current coding it appears the warning will not come up again for 365 days (or until the cookie is cleared). This may be something that should eventually be an option the user can adjust but until then maybe something like 7-14 days would be a better number.

Edit: This also does not work in the CMS section. (same as your TOR Alert)
