Ad blocker installed pop up

I have a browser which blocks adverts. On my PC and same on my phone.
Now every time I log onto MN I get a really annoying pop up notification telling me an ad/script blocking software 'is interfering with this page'.
No, it isn't. It's stopping me seeing ads that I don't want to see.
How do I make it go away?

If I turn my ad blocker off the page is like this, impossible to read.

It's driving me potty.

"please disable your adblocker or sign up to MN premium"

No, I don't want to sign up to MN premium and I am not going to disable my (free) adblocker which I use so that I don't have to see the annoying adverts for things that are of no interest to me.

Meh. I've turned mine off. MN isn't free to run. I report the worst ones and block a few that are just annoying.

The bloody thing used to go away after a while.. now it just stays there.

Still not turning off my ad blocker.

@StarCat2020

What would happen if everybody started using an adblocker but not MN Premium?

How would it stay online?

MN premium needs to be a much more compelling offer than it currently is. In addition to that, given the site's poor track record with data security, there is no way I would be giving them my payment details.

Same. Although honestly the pop up is still far less irritating than the ads I installed it to block!

U2HasTheEdge · 30/09/2020 17:30

Yep, really pisses me off.

Most people aren't going to disable their ad blocker, and will simply leave instead.

it'd be nice if it would stop coming back up once i've dismissed it too!

i'd disable my adblocker if i wanted to see ads, i dont need to be nagged every time i log in.
