How to detect people using banner blockers etc?

[Mika]

Is there a way how to detect people that are using those programs / browser addons that blocks banners etc. Any good tips how those programs work in general?

You could start with users who turned off javascript. But I don't think you can detect third party programs who block activated popup triggers.

It has its legitemate uses.

I'd like to use it in vB3 to see if there is a point of showing the PM Notification since clicking the button to open it in a new window.
