Assassinate Ad Block Blockers

You know those annoying content blockers that demand you remove your AdBlock so you can read the content? This script removes them by force. Please note, this is not automatically universal like AdBlock Plus. It operates on a per-site basis that the author must add.

  • v2.73 04. 02. 2023
