What It Is

BlockAdblock is a free anti-ad-blocking service for website publishers and bloggers. Its goal is to help ad-supported sites identify visitors using ad blockers and prompt them—through methods such as a “block screen”—to disable blocking or whitelist the site. It is not positioned as an SEO ranking tool, but rather as a marketing technology tool related to ad monetization and protecting website revenue.

Core Features and Scale

The page states that BlockAdblock offers customizable behavior, visual settings editing, obfuscated code output, advanced detection, a clean blocking notice page, and a no-code configuration process. For non-technical site owners, its biggest value is the ability to quickly generate a script and embed it on a website. It also provides Adblock filter rule search and threat analysis to help determine whether a site is being affected by specific filtering rules. In terms of scale, the page claims that more than 11,000 publishers worldwide have installed it and that it has over 6,800 update subscribers, but it does not disclose detection accuracy, filter database size, or performance data.

Pricing and Support

The pricing information is very straightforward: the basic script is free to obtain and use. The page also mentions a more powerful public beta available for testing, but does not explain whether it is paid, how its features differ, or what commercial terms apply. For support, the site provides an FAQ, troubleshooting resources, performance issue reporting, and a contact channel, which amounts to basic self-service support. There is no visible information about an SLA, live chat, enterprise support, or dedicated consulting.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are that it is free, easy to deploy, requires no coding, supports adjustable styling, and improves resistance through code obfuscation and multi-strategy detection. The downsides are also clear: anti-ad-blocking is inherently likely to become an ongoing arms race with ad-blocking extensions, and effectiveness may fluctuate as filter rules are updated. Forced blocking prompts may also hurt user experience. The page does not explain its impact on page load speed, privacy compliance, or browser compatibility, and the copyright notice shows 2019, so current maintenance activity would need to be verified in practice.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to individual site owners, blogs, content media sites, and small to midsize publishers that want to try recovering display ad revenue lost to ad blocking. For large media organizations or teams with higher requirements around compliance, A/B testing, user segmentation, and ad stack integration, alternatives such as Admiral, AdRecover, Sourcepoint, and Google Ad Manager Funding Choices may be worth evaluating. The source text does not provide information about access from China, so network connectivity and payment methods cannot be assessed. Since the basic service is free, payment is not a major barrier for now.
