Jentic co-founder here. Right now, you've got to do a PR, but we plan to monitor the web for new OpenAPI documents and automatically load them in within 24 hours. Once ingested, we will monitor the original URL for updates. We plan to

Jumping in here as we produced that data. Global average is about 5%, but in US & UK it's about 15%. In much of Europe it's about 2X that. If you have a technical audience, 20% - 30% adblocking is now normal. If you are gamer-

Fair points. We need to provide the source data and a full explanation. We're going to publish a detailed report in August with everything in it. To answer one of your questions, the predicted desktop rate is based on an assumption tha

I used to block ads before we noticed that 30% of our website revenue was lost to adblocking. We realised that people weren't intentionally blocking ads on our site, but probably due to some bad advertising that pushed them over the ed

Adblock Edge is included, as is every plugin or proxy that acts to remove advertising from web pages. Unfortunately, we can't specifically distinguish adblock edge from the others right now.

Only text and/or static images with strict limited on how they are displayed so that they are not annoying or intrusive. No scripts, so no viruses, and no third party trackers or creepy stuff like that either.

It's easy. If you ever see one of our ads, you can permanently opt out using the close button. We're working hard not to show the kinds of ads that most adblock users would want to block. We currently have < 1% opt outs.

We think (@pagefair) it's clear that adblock is being promoted just fine by word of mouth. It's the ad industry that's got to change somehow. We're trying to be part of that. What's shocking to us is how the ad indu

Some sites we're working with have over 60% of their audience blocking ads! Tends to be the gaming sites in particular.

From the publisher's point of view, ads are the only realistic way that they can pay for the expense of running their websites. The alternatives are paywalls, which don't work, or shutting down (which a bunch of sites that were us

What we found most surprising was the growth rate - 43%. If this keeps up all ads will be blocked by 2018! Of course, this won't happen. But it looks like things are set to get a lot worse for publishers before they get better.

Oh, and blocking rates on mobile/tablet is very low, probably consisting of ISP-level adblocking. That will shortly change though - the adblock community is hard at work creating mobile versions.

The rate is actually highest on gaming-related sites. I guess that audience is usually sufficiently technical, and is also habitually bombarded with aggressive advertising.

Not so far as we are aware. Not many sites have gone down the whitelisting route, for the kind of reasons discussed in the post above. That said, lots of our customers are discovering just how badly they are affected. Some sites have more t

We're using 10% as a very conservative estimate actually. We've been measuring adblock data for 9 months now across several hundred sites, many of which are very large. The current average blockrate across all these publishers is
