What is this?
DriveYourAdBlockCounterUp.com is a joke tool that can be used to artificially increase the number of blocked ads in your ad blocker's blocked ad counter.
What does this do?
DriveYourAdBlockCounterUp.com uses JavaScript run locally in your browser to perform a GET request to ads.driveyouradblockcounterup.com once every 50 milliseconds. ads.driveyouradblockcounterup.com is not a real ad server (it just runs a Cloudflare Worker that responds with a bit of static JSON) but most ad blockers will assume that it's used to serve ads and will block it - repeatedly.
Will this work with every ad blocker?
Not necesscerily. Most browser-extension-based ad blockers will block the ads.* domain pattern, but this is not necesscerily true in all cases. DriveYourAdBlockCounterUp.com may not work for purely DNS-level ad blocking solutions (like Pi-hole or solutions that use your hosts file).
It's saying that it can't detect an ad blocker, but I have an ad blocker. Why is this?
Your ad blocker probably doesn't block the ads.* domain pattern. I personally recommend you try uBlock Origin instead if you're having this issue.
What happens if I run this without an ad blocker?
DriveYourAdBlockCounterUp.com performs a GET request to ads.driveyouradblockcounterup.com once every 50 milliseconds. The expectation is that these requests will not be successful (because they will be blocked by an ad blocker). If any request is sucessful, DriveYourAdBlockCounterUp.com will display an error stating that it couldn't detect an ad blocker and it will stop. This is to protect your and our network environments from excessive traffic.
Is this dangerous or malicious?
No - at least not as I write this. If you're worried, the source code to this website is available on GitHub.
Does this website try to serve actual ads?
No. DriveYourAdBlockCounterUp.com performs a repeated request to a fake ad server on a subdomain of this domain. No genuine ads are attempted or loaded.
Is this a legimate tool?
No. This is a joke and it has no legitimate use.
