The Internet WAS supposed to be educational and government ONLY. No ads, no selling crap, just the free and unobstructed proliferation of information. Does anybody else remember that? Before .com? I do. It was nice. Screw your advertising, marketing, and commercialism. Screw your attempts to track me and my surfing habits. Screw anybody whose web presence depends on ad revenue. Marketing is Evil! I don't and never will have ads on MY site and I never EVER support any web ad. I have never intentionally clicked on one, and I never will. May Firefox and Adblock-Plus spell the end of web advertising! What a waste of storage space and bandwidth, and most ads are just trying to rip people off, or install some type of malware through that gaping security hole some people refer to as a browser, IE! May the marketing-bastards and uncreative webmasters that "depend" on them wake up and stop being "Suckers of Satan's c*ck," to quote Bill Hicks. To hell with ads, web portals, and web bugs! Good riddance! Long live Adblock-Plus! In the beginning… The Internet WAS supposed to be educational and government ONLY.

I have a server (humble 2ghz Celeron) for 25€ from $HOSTINGPROVIDERFROMGERMANY (no ads ;) ) and i have 1 TiByte free per month. If you have a website then this website is your hobby. Hobby costs money and unless you have some kind of big portal site you will never reach the traffic limit of your hosting plan, so it stays low. OTOH, if you have a big and heavily used portal site, then sell merchandise, sell special services or just put some "Donate!" button somewhere, but please, no ads that goes some user on the nerves. (Might as well modify AdBlock so that he loads the ads but wont show them...) @fred:

It costs money to run websites, the more popular the site is, the more it costs to run. All you are doing is forcing websites to find new income streams and when all the sites you enjoy visiting go subscription based you have no one to blame except yourselves.

With the test variable set to always display the message, it's impossible to tell if it's really detecting adblocking software. At this point, it's more a "javascript enabled" detector.

I block intrusive ads like doubleclick, but I choose to allow stuff like googlesyndication. If your ads are like the ones on this website, I'll see them. If you or they annoy me, then I block them. I also don't use filter sets, so if I'm browsing random websites for information, I'm more likely to see ads.

This false alarm doesn't prove functional for a production site trying to reclaim its advertising viewership.

Seems odd that your post has been up since July and yet no-one has mentioned that the spelling "recieve" is incorrect on your pop-up. Thank you for your efforts on this issue.

This is only true for Firefox. Perhaps it's a bug? It claims I’m running Adblock software in both Firefox and IE. This is only true for Firefox. Perhaps it’s a bug?
