What are Anti-Ad Blockers?
Most websites rely on online advertising to generate revenue, which helps them manage their operational costs. So, ad blockers are a red flag for website administrators.
They use anti-ad blockers on their sites to notify visitors to turn off the ad blocker. Visitors may not view the content on the website until they deactivate the ad blocker or whitelist the site on the plugin.
