What's your view on websites denying access if an adblocker is detected?


I'm fine with that. I don't visit them, and these websites will find out the hard way that antagonizing their audience isn't going to work. The Ad revenue mana isn't going to last, people are tired of all these ads on the internet, the security issues, the ads killing the battery issues, the webpage performance issues.


Personally, I'm fine with that. I'm also free to disable javascript for sites of that sort, though.


I deny them audience.

There are few paywalled/anti-adblocked/etc domains I don't even bother clicking links from.
