AdBlock Tracker detects users with AdBlocking software and allows you to create an unlimited number of ways to make those users disable their AdBlocker.

Using the power of XenForo uergroups you can deal with AdBlocker’s in a way that works best for your community. You can remove permissions, or simply limit access to any area of your community, limit their features, and notify them they've been detected so those uses can disable their AdBlock software, and/or upgrade to a paying membership for the privilege of using AdBlock software.

This is a powerful way to ensure your community is able to profit from ad revenue as well as promote and increase paid memberships.
