“You are using an ad blocker.”

Yes, and the fact that you know I am is why I am using it in the first place.

@culturednyc I always block the "you are using an ad blocker" popup.

You have to be sure to get the whole overlay section though, not just the popup itself.

@nazokiyoubinbou Iʼd love to block the pop-up. How do you do it? @culturednyc

@culturednyc My blog detects if you are NOT using an ad blocker. And it says so. Thanks to the Wordpress-plugin made by https://stefanbohacek.com/project/detect-missing-adblocker-wordpress-plugin/

@jackyan @nazokiyoubinbou @culturednyc Here's one way: https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/

It would be worth adding to the warning.

Not using ad-blockers breaks the requirements for anti-hacking insurance.

There's an auction for as-space that takes place when you load a page. One of the customer traits that can be specified by the bidders is the version of the OS.

Un-patched machines will get ads that automatically re-direct to drive-by malware-installation sites.

Script-blockers are useful as well.

@BillySmith @rrustema @culturednyc That's the best part, you can fully customize the warning!

@stefan @BillySmith @culturednyc Am indeed planning to sign off the warning with a personalised greeting from me.

@rrustema @BillySmith @culturednyc Nice!
