Hello to all.

I use the plugin ' ADBLOCK MORE '.
Some web pages detecte the presence of this plugin and obliges me to deactivate.
It demonstrates that their codes analyze my machine or my browser ' FIREFOX and PLUGINS '
Let us can by-pass us it ?

Thank...

I don't believe sites can see what plugins you're running? Had assumed they tested for Adblock by checking if one of their advert images/DIVs or a small transparent test image was being displayed.

It is possible to query plugins through navigator.plugins. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/wi...

However, AdBlock Plus is not a plugin, but an extension, so it is not in the plugins array.

In addition to a load test, sites might be detecting it via some variable or HTML element the extension injects into pages. I imagine there are threads on the web where people have analyzed it in detail.

Why do you not block the "deactivation message" with Addblock?

Have you a website for me where I can see the message? I haven't noticed such things yet.

@ComSwitch hi again,
I'm also following this with interest and already found two scripts with different methods to remove that message.

One is unique and the second adressed to a specific hp (mastertoons.com) you might like to check:

@Vivre thank you I have found http://antiblock.org/ as I inspect your information

The websites loads a script which looks for advertising elements, if not found it redirects or insert a iframe.

Theoretically best solution: deactivate the scr of this detection script, before it can redirect or insert something.
After inserting we can only remove the insert if we know it what it is.

@ComSwitch - aah I missed that one and they also provide a test-page :lol:

Yes your theoretical idea would be straight forward, but I remember vage (!) that it's not possible to catch up scripts that are called 'backstage' or after pageload.
Maybe that script could be fooled by injecting an invisible fake-ad ? :lol:

Take a look at this script here: http://pastebin.com/5KFJPkXT (from http://adblockdetector.com/ unpacked @ http://jsbeautifier.org/).

Most detection scripts I've seen just put a generic--usually blocked--image and/or iframe and just check if the elements are visible some way. It will be a constant battle between ABP and site owners.

Personally, I stay away from any site that blocks ABP. Only the good sites will post a little notice asking to turn it off (which I usually will for sites I like).
