"Interfering with the seach" is of course complete BS. The only interference is to stop the ads - which, if not blocked, are across the top and down the right of the page, in multiple frames. The ads change constantly, making WR very irritating to use while working on one's foreign language homework.A conflict with your ad blocker is interfering with the search box. Disable the ad blocker for WordReference.com to make it work.
I've searched the forums and found other reference to the same issue (websites detecting ABP). But I did not find any threads with a technique to defeat or work around the ABP detection. Clearly, we're in an arms race.
Any hints? TIA.
