How to deal with generichide and elementhide?

Sites that have generichide and elementhide filters don't get detected. Is there some way to detect these sites?

Using blockAdBlock.on strange behaviour

i want to display a special div depending on whatever adBlock is detected or not (in both case, i must passthru a function in other to make other things like logs, etc ). But the problem is when i use blockAdBlock.on(true, {function1}); blockAdBlock.on(false, {function2}); {function1} is still executed. Is there a way to not execute my {function1} if blockAdBlock.on is FALSE ?

if(typeof blockAdBlock === 'undefined') {
testIfUserFromFrance(); /* display div1|div2, if from France or Not */
} else {
blockAdBlock.on(true , testIfUserFromFrance() ); /* display div1|div2, if from France or Not */
blockAdBlock.on(false, adBlockDefault); /* display the div3, if AdBlock is false (default beheavior) */
}

AdBlock is enabled even without any AdBlocker installed (and vice-versa)

Hello,
When trying this link https://fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/blockadblock/ (3.2.1):
-> AdBlock is always detected as enabled even without any AdBlocker installed or turned OFF.

When trying this link https://fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/ (3.2.1):
-> AdBlock is always detected as disabled with AdBlocker installed and turned ON.

Tried with last versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Doesn't work on Google Chrome

With chrome dev it works.

uBlock Origin support

Hi, is there a way to detect also uBlock Origin, are you planning to make an updated version in the near future? Thank your for your work.

Adblock on hidden iframe

I am calling website A from website B in a hidden iframe, i have adblock checks in that hidden iframe and even though i have disabled adblocks it says they are active. Is there a way to fix this?

Not working with the fair adblock

The fair adblock on chrome is not working.

Works on Webview?

Does it work when implemented using webview in an android app?

_destroyBait needs to check for existence of bait before trying to remove it

From looking at the errors in our Sentry setup I can see that there are cases where the bait has already been removed by someone before the library calls the _destroyBait method here:

BlockAdBlock/blockadblock.js

Line 94 in bf4c340

window.document.body.removeChild(this._var.bait);

Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.

Since the library theoretically emits the events after removing the bait, this will never happen in case the above throws.

Ideally the library would simply check if the bait is still in the DOM before trying to remove it.

Does not detect DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

I suspect it does more sophisticated blocking than what early ad blockers did.

False positives on low-zoom and/or high-pixel-ratio

Steps to replicate

1. Go to https://fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/blockadblock/ without an adblocker enabled on Chrome (v70+)
2. Ensure browser zoom level is 100% and note value of window.devicePixelRatio
3. If window.devicePixelRatio == 1 then zoom out to 33% and refresh page.
   • Outcome: AdBlocker detected
   • Desired: AdBlocker should not be detected
   • N.b. If window.devicePixelRatio > 1 (i.e. testing on a retina screen) zoom level and window dimensions may differ slightly to above.

Technical issue

The above steps mean this._var.bait.offsetHeight, this._var.bait.offsetWidth, this._var.bait.clientHeight, this._var.bait.clientWidth all equal zero and flag detected.

Adblock detection is not working on safari

Within Safari on MacOs with Addblock plus is not detected by the script.

Verified to happen on the demo page: http://fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/blockadblock/

How to bypass it (VERY EASY)

You can bypass it by installing this unpacked extension:
https://github.com/nathan-149/adblock-extension-nodetect
This is an undetectable adblocker

No longer works for adblock plus

Visiting your demo link (https://fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/blockadblock/) with Adblock Plus enabled, it does not detect the adblocker any more. This appears to have changed in the last couple of days.
All of my applications using blockadblock are experiencing the same problem.

Why does `check` method always return `true`?

Calling the check method on either the default blockAdBlock instance, or on a newly instantiated instance, will always return true, whether AdBlock is paused or unpaused. Why is that?

AdBlock for Mac Chrome version 3.8.4
Chrome for Mac version Version 55.0.2883.95

Does not work with Ka-Block! on Safari

Tested with Ka-Block! on OSX with Safari, ad blocking not detected.

Misleading Name

I think it is misleading that it is called blockadblock if it does not block adblock.

Thanks for reading!

By the way great script!

Upload code for v4 beta on a branch

Using Adblock Chrome 51 OS X 10.11.5 is detected when it's paused as well, which seems to be fixed in v4 beta.

Multiple instances

Hey there.. first i want to say that your script is exactly what im looking for but, in my case it wont work as expected.

It blocks / replaces one entry fine but as soon as i add a secound id="..." to check again it fails..

testet the same behaviour on your site, seems like you cant have multiply requests at the same time..

(in my example i have 4 ads in a row that should be replaced with other images as soon as adb is detected, first one works fine, the other 3 get ignored)

what can i do?

Fails to detect changes in ad blocker's status.

If I visit the online example page, the page correctly displays the status of my ad blocker.

However if I pause the ad blocker and click the example page's "check again" button, the previous status is repeated.

most basic adblock detection api

const adsEnabled = async () => {
 let ads = true;
    try {
      const url = `https://ads.google.com?=${new Date().getTime()}`;
      await fetch(url, { mode: "no-cors" });
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.message === "Failed to fetch") {
        ads = false;
      }
    }
return ads;
  };

// check 

const isAdEnabled = await adsEnabled();
console.log(isAdEnabled);

possible to have a toggle return ?

just wondering if it possible to return a simple true|false statement on test... it may be simplier to integrate with already custom js script.

example :

if(typeof blockAdBlock === 'undefined') {
            adb = 0; /* 0 = false */
        } else {
            adb = blockAdBlock.toggleTestReturn(); /* return 0 or 1 */
        }

Detect ADBlock dynamic

The BlockAdBlock would detect correctly only when page refresh.
I turn on and off adblock after a while, BlockAdBlock cannot detect.

It suppose to detect the correct result whenever I call BlockAdBlock.check()

Not working on Firefox with Adblock Plus

The script claims Adblock is enabled even if it has been disabled for the specific page or even the whole domain. Seems specific to Firefox with Adblock Plus. Tested in Firefox 42 with Adblock Plus 2.7 on both MacOS and Windows 7.

Verified to happen on the demo page: http://fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/blockadblock/

Did you Create blockadblock.com?

Just curios if you are the creator of https://blockadblock.com/, and or if this project is based off BlockAdBlock or FuckAdBlock Project.

bower install fuck-adblock

Bonjour!

You've still got bower install fuck-adblock on your demo site. Awesome lib, look forward to using and contributing!

Cliqz Browser

I tested the demo page with Cliqz Browser and it seems that this adblocker does not get detected from the script?

FuckAdBlock and BlockAdBlock vs uBlock

I understand that they're supposed to be the same, but FuckAdBlock works against uBlock, BlockAdBlock does not (according to the demo).

EDIT: I just noticed FuckAdBlock was running Beta V4.

blockadblock.js is not blocked by Adblocker

Important notice,
that blockadblock.js is not blocked bacause it's not in the easylist (check https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt).
However, the script named fuckadblock.js script gets blocked when Adblock & ABP is present in users' browser!
Unfortunately, fuckadblock.js is not so convenient name in production code, but you can use a js file called abdetect.js instead.

what about adblocker ultimate on firefox?!!
