Ad blockers Advice
-
For me personally, "force user to whitelist" = I generally have no further interest in your product or service. I have had to whitelist (temporarily) certain sites to get forms to work, but I will only do that when absolutely necessary. If I encounter this looking for something new, that company/site gets shuffled to the bottom of the list.
-
This does make me a little bit curious as to what issues people have. Because my use of your website has had no issues except for the one that I reported over the weekend. That issue is something that most people only ever happened once.
-
Forceful white-listing means all desire for said products or services is immediately lost without a second thought, no matter how dire the need.
However, I do understand the issue. But that's on your developers to figure out, because you aren't the only website operator who uses telemetry to improve web experience and other services.

Super helpful feedback guys!. I didn't realize how big of a deal a notice would be. We'll avoid that

A warning notice that ad blockers have been known to cause issues and you’re currently working on it is much different then a required notice.

This.

What about something like:
"We noticed you are using an Ad Blocker - We hate ads too - and don't worry, we don't have any on our portal. However, Ad Blockers can cause issues with our portal. Please whitelist us, there's no ads here :D"
We try and keep notices like this friendly.

Notice is fine. Just don't create artificial problems. Stating that ad blockers may creates issues and to consider disabling if an issue arrises is fine.

You aren't running ads. So it might be better to say "Hey, we see you are running an ad blocker. Your Skyetel Portal is ad-free. Some ad blockers have been known to cause issues with the portal. Should you experience any issues, it is possible that your ad blocker may be interacting with some of the portal components."

And gods, don’t make it pop back up after I dismiss it.
