EasyList is only blocking ads whereas exceptionrules.txt (the list used for Acceptable Ads) is unblocking ads and is only active if the checkbox next to "Enable some non-intrusive advertising" is checked in the options page. Can you check whether this setting is enabled?
Note that by default it should be enabled when you install the extension.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Apologies for the confusion (re: EasyList/exceptionrules) - I'm certainly referring to the Acceptable Ads exception rule list. And, yes, I verified that the setting is checked.

Great! Thank you for that update. And, lastly, what would be an estimated go-live time-period for this change (days, weeks, months)?
comment:8 Changed on 09/06/2016 at 07:31:04 PM by oleksandr
The devbuild will probably go live next week. The general availability depends on how it behaves with our users, but usually we release in about 2-3 weeks after a devbuild.

Gotcha, and, just so I know - with what level of certainty can you say that this is indeed the same core issue as #1642?

I am unable to reproduce this on our internal build. So even if it were a different issue I am fairly certain it is fixed now.

Excellent. Thank you for all the updates today :)

Hello! Hoping you could provide an update on this. Is this still on track for an an end-of-month(ish) launch?

Unfortunately there will be a few days of delay since we have found #4486 during our testing.
