Is it just me getting an 'ad-blocker' warning on DU from out the blue? [View all]

A couple days ago Chrome told me DU is not secure (I overrode that warning) and just now every page I go to I've started seeing this:

Chrome browser, Windows 10. Don't recall any recent Chrome updates.

Don't know that I NEED Ad Blocker Plus on DU since I'm a Star member, but I'd rather not disable it if I don't have to.
