These ads that appear even when i’m using adblock often appear when i click anywhere in a page, leading to the ad automatically popping up in another tab. Oftentimes it will be just as simple as clicking a link before my screen is filled with random pop-ups. Heck, sometimes it won’t even stop the backgrounds ads in download websites. How is this possible? Isn’t AdBlock meant to stop every advertisement from appearing?

Adblock plugins basically work by having a database of web addresses which are known to be ads, and by telling your browser not to display anything that it finds in the database.
Well then, obviously it doesn’t take very much for an advertiser to get past the blocker. It’s as easy as changing a few URLs and other identifying factors.
