Some websites may prevent you from accessing their contents when they detect an ad blocker is enabled. This post from MiniTool Partition Wizard shows you how to disable ad blocker on Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge.
Why Do You Need to Disable Ad Blocker
We all dislike ads on websites. Some people may install an ad blocker to block ads. However, some websites may prevent you from visiting their pages once they detect ad blockers. Most of these websites charge advertisers instead of common users. These websites may include CNN, Reddit, NBC News, etc.
When it comes to how to turn off ad blockers, many people will think of the ad block extensions like AdBlock, Adblock Plus, AdGuard, etc. However, some browsers may have the Tracking Protection feature, which may also block content on websites.
In the following content, I will show you how to turn off ad blocker on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
