If a website doesn't let me in because I use an ad blocker, I respect their decision and I leave the site and find what I need elsewhere.

I have yet to come across a site that offered something so unique or compelling that I decided to turn off my ad blocker to use it.

That, and when there's an email subscription popup, is when the one-click JS toggle extension comes out. Can't detect anything if it can't run any code in your browser.

It can "detect" if JS is disabled (by loading content via JS) so this doesn't always work.

I agree, although to add, uBlock Origin has an 'annoyances' list that does a pretty good job of stopping detectors.

Thanks for the reminder that I hadn't enabled this in my current browser :)
