Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This Chrome extension provides a simple, one-click way of bypassing overlays asking users to deactivate their ad blocker prior to accessing content.

This technology is provided by several companies, including Admiral. As bypassing this type of technology is a game of cat-and-mouse, the code of the extension will be updated as often as possible to remain effective. As of January 2021, it is effective against all known implementations of Admiral's AdBlock Recovery. If you have any issue, please report non-functioning websites.

The better alternative to Admiral, for publishers, is Scroll. Scroll is a tool that allows readers to pay websites in micro transactions instead of viewing ads. It provides two clear choices: 1) Read for free and see ads, or 2) Provide a few cents to read without ads. This is much better than forcing everybody to have to put up with ads.

THIS IS PERFECT, IT WORKS AS OF SEP 4, 2024. Just make sure you go to manage extension and Enable: Authorize access to URL files. Admiral does suck! For those companies who are getting extorted by Admiral, stop using them because they are not the solution.. I have never viewed a website that had admiral, instead I just bounce..
