why is it that adblockers kinda “expire”?

544 views

basically I got tired of adds as you do and got a ad blocker it work fine for like ~4 months then i started seeing ads again. later I downloaded brave browser turned on shields and no ads for around ~ 4 months then I started seeing ads again. so I came to the conclusion that google somehow detected that I was using a ad blocker and somehow bypassed it if this is true then how dose it work or if I have it wrong then why?

1. Adblockers work off a blocklist of known ad-tech domains. They block all requests to those domains preventing ads from loading. It’s trivially easy to keep this list updated, so most ad tech companies don’t bother changing their domains to get around this because of all sorts of other issues it would cause them.

You are seeing ads served from the publishers domain that you are on. Those cant be blocked as easily since they come from the publisher alongside the content that you want to see.

2. Brave is an ad tech company that offers lots of ad formats to buyers while blocking other sources of ads. You are seeing ads from the publisher served like i mentioned above but you are likely also served ads by Brave
