Any chance you're talking about AdBlock with Filterset.G? Adblock Plus
and Easylist doesn't appear to use any whitelists by default.
Filterset.G did, but not because they wanted to show ads, instead their
whitelists were mainly focused around fixing compatibility issues caused
by over-agressive blacklisting.
Adblock Plus' approach is a little more refined, preferring to write
blocking rules more narrowly. A quick glance through AdBlock Plus plus
EasyList (the default ruleset) doesn't show any whitelists/exceptions.
