Websites that Hate AdBlockers

[DJ Panda]

Never bothered using an adblocker. Too much hassle for me and my internet is so good ads don't slow me down.

Seems like uBlock Origin and AdGuard are best at getting the job done regards sites that want one to turn off the adblockers.
Anyone know of others?

Nope, but i think those 2 are the best, one is browser only, while the other is also system wide (with added features).

The opposite here.

They seem to be the best since anything I do that strays away from them either doesn't block youtube video ads, no cosmetic filtering, bad anti-antiadblock or sponsored posts. Adblocker Ultimate uses English Filters which have good anti-antiadblocking so could be included.

I backed into cruelsister's Business Insider link and ended up in the Nederland version, then went to United States, and got no warnings at either site. Running both uBlock Origin & perceptual ad blocker. Now curious, headed to Forbes...

...for an instant Forbes said something about AdBlock, but disappeared so fast no time to read small print, and then it let me read articles. (?)

I don't know about you guys/gals but, when you frequently visit a site for its free & useful content then you have a moral obligation (aleast for me) to add it to your adblock whitelist (of course only if the ads doesn't distract you too much).
For some authors the ads on their website may be the only income souce, apart from premium subscription.

I hate to admit it, but I really like targeted ads- some of my favorite shoes came from them.

I bet they like you now!

Sign of the times.
I dont use any anti-adblock killers, I just close the site if it forces me to disable my adblocker. There's plenty of similar info out there.

PS. Business Insider seems to miss my ublock Origin

I also do this if the ads are not too intrusive.

Unless one is data limited, there must be a market for an adblocker which downloads ads but blocks their display... a win-win?

Advertisers and publishers won't see it that way. If you're tampering with ad displays in any way you're breaching the so-called "implied contract" that you apparently accepted when you chose to browse the web. (Even though we pay exorbitant sums of money for the luxury.)
It'd work well for impression based ads but PPC ads would be made obsolete. It also wouldn't eliminate the security or privacy risk they pose.

I thought this was a joke but noooooe!

If that's the case, then website owners have a moral obligation to make sure the ads are safe and not malware-related.

uBlock is completely open-source part of a low reward company.

Honest websites do. We do not have to be paranoic concerning malvertising since it is very rare in trusted, popular websites.

Absolutely, and most are sites honest but some aren't.

|Just accessed the site using Adguard... no pop ups.

The same here, with Adguard no pop ups.

bussiness insider and forbes are both popup free ( adguard premium )
