It seems to work great!
Just added this to our site and it seems to be very effective. Haven't noticed any issues with it yet. It would be great if the author would add a way to add HTML on the message customization area, this would allow for example to add a link to important info such as how to disable ad blockers etc. Thanks to the developers for creating this. Other than that awesome plugin!

It works with Adblock and Adguard
It works in the Chrome browser, defines Adblock and Adguard. It does not conflict with plugins, does not violate styles, and does its job. The author of the plugin is developing his creation, there are plans for development. Technical support resolves issues quickly. I wish you further development and more plugin installations.

The best that I have tested so far
We operate a high-traffic e-learning platform that tracks user progress as they navigate through courses. At least once a week, we receive support tickets from learners reporting that their progress is not being recorded correctly. In every case we've investigated, the issue has been traced back to users running an ad blocker or using the Brave browser, both of which interfere with the progress tracking scripts. Now I can display a message to these users asking them to turn off any ad blockers. It works very well for our needs. I’ve modified the plugin slightly so that the popup message only displays on the homepage, rather than site-wide. This helps reduce disruption for users while still delivering the message early.

Works exactly as stated
This works perfectly. I haven't tested it with all ad-blockers, but it definitely does work with the one I do use myself. :)Edit: Since the new update, you can now choose whether or not people can disable the notice, which is a very welcome addition. This is actually the only adblock detector I've found that actually works.
