I'm using Firefox 33.1.1 with Ghostery and Adblock Edge. I tried using Adblock Plus, but after finding many ads weren't being blocked switched to Edge. It seems like more ads are getting through than in the past, and I conversed with some friends who found the same. Whether or not this true is irrelevant; I'd still like to have fewer annoyances. Bellow is a list of websites that I believe display obtrusive ads (even with Ghostery and Adblock Edge).

Could it be that the adverting companies have come out with a new method to display their ads that Adblock hasn't caught up with yet? Here's an example
I noticed a lot of ads not being blocked are similar to this one and are like another window inside the page.
My Settings When I was using Adblock Plus I had all the default filters and extra loaded. With Adblock Edge I'm using Easylist. With Ghostery I have it set to the max in terms of blocking ads and tracking cookies and beacons etc. Yes I do remember to update the plug ins.
How can these ads be reduced?
Allow some non-intrusive advertising
