I can easily see how one could detect the use of an ad-blocker: use Javascript to see if ads have been removed or hidden in the DOM. Disabling the ad-blocker is a thornier problem. If the browser's security features are working correctly, it should be impossible. If you circumvent them, you probably face potential legal liability yourself.

I think I would be happy with something like that which displays a message that tells users they are using software which causes my pages to load improperly.

Then let them decide if my content is [potentially] worth their turning off the blocker.

On some of my sites, the only way I have to monetize is Adsense .. and if they start blocking that ..
