AdBlock Detecter

Sometimes you just need to check if the user is running an AdBlock, this simple plugin does what is proposed, indicate whether the user is using an AdBlock in the browser or not.

Use

First you need to include adblockDetecter.js on your page, after that you can use the function isActive(), take a look:

Example

<script src="adblockDetecter.js"></script>
<script>
	setTimeout(function() {
		AdBlockDetecter.isActive(); //Will return true or false
	}, 100);
</script>

That's it! But, why using the setTimeout function? Because we need the DOM be ready for this check, if you are using jQuery you can use $(window).ready() for example.

Parameters

In case you need it can use different parameters, such as container or the class (AdBlock works by looking Class like this and hiding them, so if is not working for you try changing to another Class like advertbox)

AdBlockDetecter.isActive({
	class: 'advertbox',
	container: 'body'
});

How it works

AdBlockDetecter is a global function so you can call it wherever you want, after call the .isActive() function the plugin creates a fakeAd element and then we check if the element has been hidden or not.

Not working for you?

Try to change the default parameters, send an Class of advertising or ads for testing.
