The options of being blocked from viewing a website or paying a monthly fee to enjoy ad-free access almost sounds like a lose-lose situation for Internet users.
Well, one company is doing something about it, introducing the Anti-Adblock Killer or the adblocker-blocker, as spotted by the Next Web.
The way the anti-adblocker works is that it essentially deceives sites to believe users aren't equipped with an adblocker, thus giving people the ability to click through websites that would normally disable their access.
How? Well, the adblocker-blocker uses a JavaScript file and filter list in a process that is thoroughly described on the program's page.
In its essence, the program describes itself as something that: "Helps you keep your Ad-Blocker active, when you visit a website and it asks you to disable. Composed of a user script «AakScript» written in javascript and a filter list «AakList» using the same syntax as lists AdBlock and AdBlock Plus, the two are complementary and unlock different website [sic]."
Working around bans on adblockers is key, considering there are plenty of big websites that lock users out when they detect adblockers — especially news sites.
The Anti-Adblock Killer is compatible with Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox Internet browsers.
