ABP not blocking ads? (list apps that break ABP)

I, like others, have been watching a lot of ads. I just put 2 and 2 together, and I think I have ABP back on duty.

I have been using LBE Security for years for... well, security. I shutdown LBE, opened a site that was full of ads yesterday, and they we gone. Yeah! (Take this with a grain of salt. I'm at work, so my testing was that one website.)

Test yours, post your findings here, and lets get a list together of apps that break ABP. (NOT apps that ABP breaks. That's another thread!)

I'll try to keep this up-to-date. After matching reports start coming in, I'll color code, or otherwise, separate to the good, the bad, and the ugly.

List of Apps + Status
  • LBE Security (suspect)
  • Lookout (free version: virus checker, not a problem for me)
  • PDroid/OpenDroid (works at a different layer - Can someone report on this/these? New phone, not available to me yet.)
  • What else??????

Is 'SMS Backup & Restore' not functioning correctly with ABP running? If yes, then this should go to that other thread.
If ABP is letting ads through only when you have 'SMS Backup & Restore' installed/enabled, then I'm baffled and I'll add it.

well blocking ads on apps is just a side effect of ABP Android version...
