I updated my WordPress plugin that warns your site's visitors if they don't have an ad-blocker installed.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/detect-missing-adblocker

EDIT: You can now fully customize the note, including links to plugins and browser extensions you want to suggest.

By default, a link to my blog with a list of popular options will be shown.

Happy to get more recommendations!

"Sęk w tym, że takie rozwiązanie jest w Unii Europejskiej nielegalne. Żeby zablokować adblocker YouTube musi wiedzieć, że takie oprogramowanie działa na komputerze czy telefonie użytkownika. A żeby to wiedzieć musi „pogrzebać” w twojej przeglądarce – sprawdzić czy takie narzędzie jest zainstalowane i działa na twoim urządzeniu. I dokładnie tego nie wolno mu robić"

Härteres YouTube-Vorgehen: Hunderttausende Nutzer haben Adblocker deinstalliert

Das Durchgreifen von YouTube bei Werbeblockern veranlasst Zuschauer zu Experimenten mit dem Austausch verfügbarer Lösungen. Auch Microsofts Browser ist gefragt.

The new general #enshittification trend on the #Web:

> Please verify you are a human without any Ad Blockers turned on.

#Captcha dialogs that don't work unless you turn off your #adblocker .. of course you might allow the specific #tracker that makes the captcha functional, but not always clear which one to pick.

This is it. Youtube will be fighting adblockers very actively now: #youtube #ads #adblocker

And this is what you get after you "free" 3 videos: youtube blocks the playback of next videos. This is on Firefox with uBlockOrigin

Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.

Mit dem #VivaldiBrowser ist mir bisher noch kein #DrohFenster aufgeploppt welches mich auffordern möchte den #AdBlocker zu #deaktivieren. Obwohl die #Werbung #blockiert wird.

When you visit a website and see a giant modal telling you to disable your ad blocker, what do you do?

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online avatar

50+ sites are using my Detect Missing Adblocker WordPress plugin, which lets you warn your site's visitors if they don't have an ad-blocker installed.

Huge thanks to everyone who shared it over the past few weeks!

There's a few ad-blocking methods that the plugin can't handle yet, so if you have a bit of time and necessary skills, please have a look at these open issues:

Google wants to make it harder to block ads. Thought experiment:

If, instead of ad blocking per se, we used browser extensions that blocked all tracking, prevented execution of arbitrary code, and made fingerprinting devices impossible, but also left all ad content visible, would Google (and the rest of their industry) still be opposed?

The answer tells you everything you need to know about why it is moral and ethical to use ad blockers.

Son of a nutcracker! 😩
Looks like #YouTube is winning the #AdBlocker battle
(Tried purging #uBlockOrigin cache again, but no go 😒)

UPDATE:
Looks like it might've been the "Enhancer for YouTube" extension that I was also using (for auto-cinema mode, etc.). Disabling that seems to have gotten me back in the game.

Trying out #NoScript to block the loading of #Javascript on websites. I honestly don't know why I should use it, but it is fun to play with. Really speeds up loading times at least.

On my desktop , 99% of those malicious requests are blocked. On my mobile Firefox 97%.

Does your browser protect you and your data? Test yourself:

I use a lot of #adblocker and other #browser technologies, like #noscript in #firefox. As a result, some web sites load a little funky. I was trying to go to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's web site in #Virginia and got this infinite loop. This happens more often than you might think.

A video showing the web site constantly loading and reloading because some JavaScript doesn't load or execute correctly.

stefan, to ads

I'm trying to update the ad-detection methods in my WordPress plugin that shows a note when a site's visitor doesn't have an ad-blocker installed.

It looks like there's a few false positives.

https://github.com/stefanbohacek/detect-missing-adblocker/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc

My approach is to style the note to be perceived as an ad, rather than actually detect particular ad-blockers.

I'd really appreciate some help, see how this can be improved.

Nö.

Deswegen schon nö, weil bei den meisten Seiten dann ebenfalls nur ein Teil des Artikels zu sehen ist und ich dann wieder genötigt werde, ein Abo abzuschließen. Aber dann wurde ich schon getrackt.

Also werde ich das nicht abschalten und grundsätzlich solche Seiten meiden und mein Geld bekommen die auch nicht. 🤷

Tourma, to opensource

Hey #Android (OS) peeps. Got a question for a friend. Are there any good free ad blockers for YouTube on android? Ones that don't require Root access.

A friend's friend is canceling YouTube plus to save money and the ads are already annoying my friend that had the same password.

Thanks :blobhaj_heart:
