You've had something on your device that has blocked adverts on here when logged in. 803 times;

When the system detects adblock, the account is allocated to an Adblocker Usergroup which has an Adblocker Red user title.

When you disable adblock, you are marked as 'clear' as you are now, at some point the system will run an update, recognise your clear and move you out of the Adblock usergroup.

So there will be times when the banner shows and there's ads, but its because 1) you have had adblock enabled and 2) the system wont update account permissions realtime

Been seeing ads for years but I'm still flagged as a blocker :blush:

You definitely have something on one of your devices which routinely blocks ads/scripts.

what browser do you use

I'm getting the same flag, I'm assuming it's because I use Duck Duck Go as my default browser?

I think so mate - developer was asked whether duck duck go/similar would show a false flag a few times but he didn't answer.

I'll be turning the red banners off in a few days I just turn them on every year In the hope to encourage a few to disable adblock. Some say they didn't realise it was on etc

Firefox on PC. Adblocker Ultimate and uBlock Origin for adblockers, both of which are disabled for here. And no other extension which affects anything but certain other pages as you can see. Unless a twitch-specific adblocker is causing the detects. Will try turning that off.

Thanks mate.

Can you see the blocked since install on your screenshot? The 8% on our domain? I suspect that.

I've disabled it again for a year mate so we can revisit then
