Adblock Plus

I use ABP always, recently I have discovered 'Daily Mail' website recognizes I have ABP installed. I have followed the step taken in Google setting and ABP setting, but still comes up with 'I have ad blocker installed'.

I only want to disable it for 'Daily Mail' site.

Thanks

    Uninstall Adblock plus and replace with uBlock Origin which you can get from the Mozilla/Chrome store as appropriate.

    Adblock Plus is a victim of its own success really, too many sites recognise it.

    Websites that spot ABP will tend to also spot uBlock Origin. That said, uBlock Origin is better than ABP (in my opinion).

    You can easily turn off uBlock origin for specific sites. Another benefit of it.

    I use Ublock and NoScript also. Noscript sometimes stops captures and adblock detecting scripts from running.

    Instead of a capture i often get a box that simply says not a robot. No messing trying to read hidden letters etc.

    Thanks, uBlock Origin works! I've left it on default settings. Any changes if necessary?

    Default settings are normally fine, you may want to look at the "Annoyances" list in the uBlock dashboard -> settings section. These blocks irritating elements on webpages, including cookie notices, third-party widgets and in-page popups (Doesn’t include social media widgets and buttons, to block them you can still use Social media filter separately)

    Other than that, up to you.
