Last Updated: October 2023

Have you try this easy way to bypass ad-blocker detection with Escape button?

For those of you who still does not know this easy trick, read on.

NOTE: This is NOT about YouTube adblocker detection.

Basically when an ad blocker is detected, the website may show pop-ups or notifications urging the user to turn it off, or add the site to their whitelist in order to view the content; for instance Forbes website

Some websites might even prevent users from accessing the content unless the adblocker is turned off.

These websites utilize different methods to identify ad blockers.

In other words, you have to use different ways to get around their ad detection tools.

From what I have read, among the adblock detection techniques include detection of JavaScript, hiding specific HTML elements and anti-adblock scripts.

Anyway, I have tried those ad-blocker detection websites with this "Esc" (Escape) button method and it works perfectly.

NOTE: This simple trick does not work for every websites which has ad-blocker detection.

This simple trick to get around adblock detection works for both: the homepage and the individual pages.

In addition it also works for both popular browsers: Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

With this method you do not have to install any anti-adblock extension, monkey around with Greasemonkey, using a proxy or VPN service, change the user-agent string in the browser, fiddle with the Javascript or temper it with the built-in web Developer Tools.

And forget about reading from cached pages, it does not work.


RELATED: By the way, I have recently add this tip to my old post "How to bypass adblock detection for Firefox users".
