Web page to test ad blocking and encourage use of blockers.

Let's encourage ad blocking

Bill Hicks on advertising

Are you protected against ads?

The purpose of this project is to test for and encourage the use of ad blockers.

It's a simple test to see if you have an ad blocker installed, and a recommendation to install one if you don't. We do not believe in 'acceptable advertising' so we also try to test for that and suggest a better adblocker if we detect it.

The intention is to have a page you can send to family and friends. When they access it, they will get a recommendation for an ad blocker that will run on their browser or device.

We recommend uBlock Origin for Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Microsoft Edge.

We recommend Better Blocker for iOS and Safari.

Try it!

The code here is running on our site at: blockads.fivefilters.org

Feel free to share that page with anyone you feel could benefit from more ad blocking.
