How do web sites know that we're using ABP?

[ant]

Hello.

http://www.nonags.com/ took me to http://www.nonags.com/adblock-banned.html ... I noticed more and more webs sites are annoyingly doing this these days.

Thank you in advance.

the filter

Code: Select all

nonags.com#@#.adsbygoogle

should fix it, but ... here is something about the approach abp for firefox has with hiding elements (in chrome it works using the filter above)
(the devs are working for a fix)

alternative ?
uncheck easylist and subscribe:
EasyList without element hiding
from
https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/

Are there any side effects in element hiding? More RAM usage?

[mapx]

using the list without element hiding you'll use less RAM but in the pages will be some elements (hidden in the main easylist by the hiding rules)

Are you saying, we will get blank areas for those elements?

Also, I use https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/r/fanboy-complete.txt that combined both. Is there one like that?

for the site we are talking about you have to use that list (easylist without hiding filters).

fanboy complete ...includes easylist, so you can't use it for sites with the same detecting approach

and yes, it's possible - using that list - to see blank areas

Thanks.

Do I also assume blocked elements are still not downloaded?

I tried it, and it doesn't block enough like on Reddit.

Blocked elements are not downloaded; also, hiding is a separate process from blocking, and they use separate filters.

The site Fcall.in also detects that I am using ABP. The home page works fine. But when I login, it asks me to disable ABP.

I don't want to register ...so you could submit am issue report and then post here the report's link

I fixed it with blocking those:

*/includes/jquery-1.10.2.min.js
*/adblock-banned.html

How can I avoid the block here https://www.globes.co.il/news/article.a ... 1001328033 ?

Thanks
