It&#x27;s a valiant effort, but there&#x27;s really no way they&#x27;ll win this battle. The client simply has too much control.<p>I was toying with writing a chrome extension for sites&#x2F;videos that behave differently when adblock is running. It shouldn&#x27;t be too hard to make the site believe that the ad content is running, when it&#x27;s not actually running.<p>Not a perfect approach, but if bandwidth &#x2F; compute &#x2F; memory is not an issue, it could be a novel way to respond to more sophisticated ad block detect mechanisms that come out.

If I add a rule to allow the ads.js to be loaded for only that domain (an possibility adblockanalytics.com) it completely defeats the detection.<p>In my experience once you start blocking any content the ad blocking community will make a change to the EasyList to have that exclusion included.

It&#x27;s not about the ads, why don&#x27;t you put this much effort into not using &quot;free&quot; online tools and quality checking the content your customers recieve.

I&#x27;m the creator of Detect Adblock and will be around if anyone has any feedback or wants to discuss anything related to ad blocking.
