About deAdblocker
From the official readme · v1.0Description
Sick of low revenues due the increased number of visitors with adblock installed? Want them to whitelist your website? deAdblocker is your ultimate choice.
The plugin detects the use of adblock and automatically creates banner notification asking users to turn it off.
The text in the banner can be easily adjusted, so that you may demystify the side-effects of adblock use for the visitors.
While deAdblocker is super handy to keep your advertisement revenues high, it does not decrease website’s loading speed a bit. What’s more, the code of the plugin is very robust, fast and clean, and implies no caveats.
On top of all that, deAdblocker can be effortlessly integrated into any WordPress website.
