AdBlock Causes Blank Pages To Load

Chrome Web Store - AdBlock
AdBlock for Chrome! Block all advertisements on all web pages, even Facebook and Youtube. Your browser is automatically updated with additions to the filter: just click "Add to Chrome," then visit your favorite website and see the ads disappear!
The first extension I add to chrome is AdBlock. I am always shocked at browsing without AdBlock. It is a miserable experience. But lately some sights need to be refreshed several times to get the page to load. Newegg is one of those sites for me.
I have no idea what is the problem and AdBlock denighs any responsibility (despite turning off AdBlock fixing the issue). And I find life totally unacceptable without AdBlock. So the quick fix for me is to enter Newegg's domain into AdBlock's option page as white listed. If I find other sites that are a problem I will add them also, unless they are popup monsters.

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
