After the deal they made with Google to allow their ads, I wouldn't trust Ablock Plus anymore. Just go uBlock Origin. It's one guy - not sure why you need a team in the first place -, better performance, more ads blocked, fully open source and no BS.
While I'm happy to see a way for people who don't want to see ads can contribute, I also vastly prefer uBlock Origin. Adblock left a bad taste in my mouth when they asked for money. Their entire product is based around denying content producers a way to monetize their own product. It felt sort of like a for-pay torrent site.
