uBlock Origin, or some of its filters, can block whatever mechanism sites use to detect blocking.
A while back I had a few sites warn me about ad-block, but I haven't seen it in a while.
- mdip 11y agoI just switched back to that, actually. Months ago, my default browser was Firefox Developer Edition and uBlock Origin had a bug related to LastPass that caused LastPass to hang the browser so I had switched to ABP. Unfortunately, LastPass started acting up in FireFox a few weeks ago and I decided to give in to Chrome, again, so I've happily returned to uBO. I go back and forth on which to install for people that routinely come to me for help (I'm a developer, not a helpdesk, dammit!). I'm not sure if it's still the case, but months ago I actually did receive a call from my father when he attempted to install an open-source PDF creation tool that he uses at work on his home PC. It was hosted by SourceForge which uBlock had large swaths of in its blacklist. The installer did contain a bull$#*+ toolbar (several, actually), but he's familiar with avoiding crapware directly placed within installers (and to avoid "Express Installations").
