It combines a userscript and a curated filter list to block the JavaScript functions and scripts that websites use to identify ad-blocking browser extensions, and overrides detection functions at runtime. The project applies targeted filter rules and user scripts on a per-domain basis to handle unique anti-adblock implementations across a curated set of websites, including popular sites and WordPress-based platforms. It also identifies and blocks known anti-adblock plugins using signature-based detection, and periodically synchronizes its filter lists from remote sources to maintain effectiveness against new countermeasures. The tool provides a settings interface for configuring script behavior, verifies that its filter list is correctly installed and active in the user's ad-blocker, and checks for and notifies users of updates to its components. It also offers additional filter rules that extend the blocking capabilities of supported ad-blockers. ## Tags ### Security & Cryptography - [Adblock Detection Bypasses](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/security-cryptography/adblock-detection-bypasses.md) — Prevents websites from detecting ad-blockers by blocking anti-adblock scripts and overriding detection functions. - [Anti-Adblock Circumvention Rules](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/security-cryptography/anti-analysis-removal/anti-adblock-circumvention-rules.md) — Applies targeted filter rules per website domain to handle unique anti-adblock implementations. - [Site-Specific Bypass Rules](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/security-cryptography/anti-analysis-removal/anti-adblock-circumvention-rules/site-specific-bypass-rules.md) — Apply custom script and filter rules to bypass anti-adblock measures on a curated list of websites.
