@aral The only reason to detect an ad-blocker is to warn the site visitor if it's missing.

(Note that the plugin doesn't work too well right now, the ad-blocker detection started to get pretty unreliable. Maybe it's time to look at this again.)
@sanityinc @aral Ha, thank you!
@stefan @aral@mastodon.ar.al I run a site that has been largely ad-supported for a long time, and even I'm ready to do something like this, mainly because Google have gradually enshittified the experience of my visitors by unilaterally making my site more hostile to them over time.
@sanityinc @stefan Are there any ad networks left that don’t do tracking? Perhaps look into one of those.
@sanityinc @stefan Yeah. Basically, one where they place ads not on tracking but based on the topic of your articles. They’re usually far more relevant anyway (I’m already there because I care about your topic), and I’m not having my privacy violated and being sold off in a real-time auction before your page even loads.
