What is Adblock Warning Removal List And How To Add It In Your Browser

Adblock Plus is a popular ad filtering plugin for Firefox and Google Chrome. When the plugin is installed, it automatically adds Adblock Warning Removal List option in the Filter List tab, but default does not enable it.

Before we talk about the Adblock’s warning removal list let’s understand what is Adblock and how does it work.

What is Adblock Plus?

Adblock Plus is one of the most popular content filtering and ad blocker extension for popular browsers including Firefox and Chrome. It filters the content that appears in the form of ads. This is very useful as we are able to block any inappropriate ads from appearing on our screens when we access any website.

Another benefit of using Adblock Plus is that it saves a lot of Internet bandwidth by blocking downloading of advertisement content.

Adblock Plus filters are like antivirus definitions, which contain the names of websites, web pages, images, scripts, etc., which will be blocked from opening in your browser. You can add as many Adblock Plus lists as you want, and even create custom filters using regular expressions. Each list can have a different purpose and block ads of different kinds. These are acceptable ads that are grouped as non-intrusive and will not be blocked. This also helps filter out ads from social media sites.

Now coming back to the actual issue i.e. what is Adblock warning removal list?

When the Adblock extension is enabled and we visit some websites that contain ads, that website warns us that we are using Adblock, and we need to turn off our AdBlock extension to further proceed on the website. These websites detect the Adblock extension and ask us to disable it.

This spoils the whole concept of using the Adblock as we still get bombarded with these AdBlock warnings but Adblock Plus has provided us with a solution that helps us block out these warnings as well.
