    I also have seen one or two sites that can see you are using advert blocking. However when and if I come across a site that refuses to allow me to see the content till I turn off the advert blocking, I will go somewhere else.
    It only needs one of those adverts to be hacked and hosting a nasty payload, which I am not prepared to risk.

    That's why having "Hostsman" is important, Nev. It protects you against malicious payloads.
    I am trying to find some sort of add blocker that sneaks under their radar.

    I am looking for a "hack" that prevents AdBlock detection on our PC's.

    Looks like we have to accept the adds at the present time as the detection is included in the Websites Java Script.
    I have removed all Ad Blockers and only using Hostsman which seems to work excellent.
    If I trust the site I edit Hostsman and whitelist the Website or look for the information elsewhere.
