@Petie: yeh, sorry if I sounded negative myself, I tried to make it sound stern but calm.
> but the system isn't perfect and occasionally, something gets through that shouldn't.
^ that's exactly my point (nothing more needs to be said)
Also, I don't fault you for what you have coded, we're all human
but ABP in itself is rather it's own standard as just about everyone uses it.
There ARE ways I've run across for detecting users of AdBlock/ABP/ABPro which deals with JS testing if a particular variable exists.
This was mainly discussed in malicious redirects for AdBlock users, so I don't remember the links. (those guys are soooo lucky they disabled commenting or they woulda heard my wrath)
you can ask a few webmasters if you know any, or perhapse look around on google... idk
I know my methods may seem like overkill, but I look at it as cloud-layers.
imagine you're a malicious content trying to shoot a devastating lazer at earth.
but you can't hit the clouds or your lazer scatters and is ineffective.
what I'm doing is adding about 7 extra layers of thick clouds which cover different areas.
I look at desktop security software in the same manner.
(because 1 software can't fully cover you, it's impossible for a "small" group of 1000+ people to know every lest virus in the next 15 seconds)
and btw, yes, google completely tracks all your online history.
- g.doubleclick
- google-analytics
both of these won't harm you, but they're extreme privacy infringements
facebook and twitter trackers are just about as big.
@Dazz: I'm sorry I came off like that to you.
I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence.
