“We notice you are using an ad blocker…”

Yes, and I notice you are using a few dozen trackers. Turn off the trackers and I will look at your ads. Until then, we are at an impasse.

@bittner First, love this.
Second, how do you know this? So your website has to ask me if I will accept cookies, but it does not have to ask me if it can peek into my browser, plugins and OS?

@sikkdays @bittner I don't think it's that bad. One harmless way for the adblockerannoyer to tell if an adblocker is running is simply to check if the ad is blocked.

The browser is yours, and nothing can run in there without your active consent. You can also change anything running in there if you're willing to learn. That's what adblockers are all about: were not defenseless in our own browsers 😎
