  • Content viewing options when advertisements are blocked
    Patent number: 10521835
    Abstract: A digital medium environment includes a content provider that receives a request for content and provides the requested content to a computing device. An improved advertisement detection method implemented by the content provider comprises determining whether the requesting computing device is blocking advertisements provided with the content. If the requesting computing device is blocking advertisements, the content provider may prevent the requested content from being displayed unless a user of the requesting device selects an alternate option for viewing the requested content. Alternate options for viewing the requested content include purchasing a subscription to the content provider, paying the content provider to view only the requested content, or enabling display of advertisements at the requesting computing device. The improved advertisement detection method protects content provider revenue streams and informs users of alternate options for viewing content from a trusted content source.
