Fails to block Google Search ads

If you have EasyList enabled, µBlock will block ads in Google Search results.

If you feed µBlock with an invalid cosmetic filter in the "My filters" pane in the dashboard, this will break cosmetic filtering, and a symptom of this is that ads will not be blocked in Google Search results.

Is Firefox version considered stable?

Yes.

How often are filter lists updated?

Currently, after four days a filter list is deemed "obsolete".

How to show the google text ads?

You can create a whitelist directive only for Google search page. For example, in my case it would be:

www.google.ca/search*

In your case, just replace google.ca with whatever is your Google search domain name.

Whitelist directives are those appearing in the Whitelist tab in µBlock's dashboard, and which serves to disable µBlock completely.

YouTube filtering options à la ABP (or, Facebook filtering options à la ABP)

These filter lists do not come with a Creative Common license, thus µBlock is not shipping with these lists. But you can add them manually as custom filter lists. You can find URLs to various external lists on this pahe: Filter lists from around the web.
