What should I do if an ad blocker completely blocked our site?

Question

Google Chrome

Never defended against ad blockers or penalized users who block ads and didn't even give them a warning. All of a sudden, the AdGuard blocker did something that made our site unusable (the site opens but no links are clicked).
The blocker is freely distributed directly in the add-ons store in the Google Chrome browser. How to competently complain so that Google Chrome removes a malicious add-on?

Answer 1

Most likely, there will be no answer to this question, but I will collect the proposed crutches:

1. Update the layout, monitor blocker updates, update the layout again in case of errors.
   
2. Try to separate ad containers from content as much as possible to make it easier for the ad blocker to block ads.
   
3. Add hints to the blocker to make it easier for him to block ads.
   
4. Display a warning to users that they have a blocker enabled and the site may not work correctly. Ask to disable the blocker.
   
5. Follow the updates of all blockers and each time in case of errors contact the administration of these blockers with a request to correct these errors.
   
6. Tell users that this blocker works poorly, ask them to switch to another blocker.
   
7. Submit a complaint to the Chrome Store for misleading users about the functionality of the blocker and mindlessly defacing websites.
   
8. Remove ads from the site (not an option, because even without ads, sites deteriorate + we don't want to remove ads).
   
9. Initially, do not use bad names for styles, files, domains, etc. (not an option, because we don’t use them anyway, but new rules are constantly added anyway + all bad names are unknown initially).
   
10. Add a hint to the blocker next to those elements that cannot be blocked (not an option, because there are many such elements, although we added hints to some elements).
    
11. If the site is very popular, there is a chance that the blocker developers will listen to the recommendations.
    
12. Do nothing, leave it as is
    

Answer 2

And what site is that? It may be right that he blocked.

Answer 3

No way.
If you do not have a site with a million daily audience, then it will be easier, faster and cheaper to fix your site.

Answer 4

Maybe there are too many ads?

Answer 5

Fix layout
Follow blocker updates
One of your complaints will not force anyone to delete anything
