Unable to block tricky ad

Hello, I'm trying to block the ad that shows at the top of the page on http://www.extremetech.com/
I'm using Google Chrome on Windows 8 if it makes any difference.
Here is the one that I'm talking about http://i.imgur.com/DEcelqY.png
I've tried creating a rule that blocks 'extremetech.com###bannerad' and that works, the ad is blocked temporarily, but when I refresh the page the ad re-appears, with the same ID (extremetech.com###bannerad).
This seems to be specially designed to circumvent AdBlock Plus. It does not load at startup, there's a 1-2 second delay before it loads.

Can someone confirm, perhaps using other browsers ? Are there any solutions to block this, currently ?

Thanks!

This is actually Chrome specific, because I am seeing no such banner in Firefox.

I have seen this same chrome-specific issue in some other sites like opensubtitles.org

Thanks for your reply. Is there anywhere I can file a 'bug report' or similar, so that the developers would take a look at this and perhaps fix in future versions ?
