Add if an ad-blocker is enabled

Open cbotman opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Brief description of what went wrong

This isn't an issue, just a suggestion. It could be useful for the report to show if an ad-blocker plugin is enabled. For example, ad-blockers sometimes cause issues for users due a false positive where it blocks something that isn't an advert. Not sure how practical this is to implement. A lot of news websites seem to be able to detect when you have an ad-blocker though.

Cheers, Chris

That's a great idea @cbotman. Ad blockers can cause havoc with front-end scripts!

Thank you, I'll add it to the roadmap.

Additionally, you could also check for Privacy Badger, which has broken multiple websites for me in the past.

I think I might do something global and inject something that ad blockers will globally block on the page and query wether it's available or not :)
