Sites blocking adblock

Post by elfguy »

More and more sites seem to have a script that removes the text from the page if you use adblock. One example is http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdo ... i=2610&p=3

I guess the way to prevent that would be if adblock plus offered an option to download and hide the images instead of not downloading them at all, then the site would have no way to know if its images are getting displayed or not. Any chance such a feature will be added? It's in the old adblock.

It is still there.

Just look under "Support Websites..." in the Options Menu. ;)

also this site works just fine if you don't allow javascript to run. I use NoScript which only allows sites I whitelist to run javascript, java, flash or any other plugin.
