I would say that if a key part of functionality on your site is rendered inoperative by the presence of an adblocker, you're doing something wrong. It will look very unprofessional to ask them to switch off an adblocker in order to be able to use the site
You are right, but from a marketing perspective you must understand adblockers might be too aggresive sometimes (I am 100% on your site as a browsing user, I do the same) but look at it from the builders point of view as well.
You just might not always be able to do the core of what you want too.
Interesting. I've yet to come across a site that asks me to switch off an adblocker to sign up. To be honest, if I did, I'd think twice about signing up

No warnings there. I use uBlock Origin
