How to opt out of 'non-intrusive advertising' - only for Addlock Plus users

AdBlock Plus - it is a tool designed to block ads does not block ads because some companies have paid to be whitelisted (included for free too).

When you install an ad blocker, seeing whitelisted ads should be opt in otherwise the software is deceptive.

On:
Firefox

click the Adblock Plus icon and choose Filter Preferences from the menu. Uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising" and you are done.
Chrome
right-click the Adblock Plus icon in the address bar on the right, then choose Options and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising."
Opera
click the Opera menu button in the left corner at the top (on OS X: click Window at the top), choose Extensions, find Adblock Plus there, click on Options and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising."
Internet Explorer
click the Adblock Plus icon in the status bar on the right, then choose Options and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising."
Safari
click the Adblock Plus icon in the address bar on the left, choose Options, and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising"
Android
click the Adblock Plus icon in the notification bar at the top, then uncheck "Acceptable Ads / Allow some non-intrusive advertising."

Please note, this is for AdBlock Plus users. Although most 'aware' users will most likely uninstall ABP this week. :p

@Rus Anca Can you post screenshots for your How-To tutorial? :D
