    I think AdRotate should offer the following features to be a more complete banner tool:

    1 counteract adblockers by hiding the presence of banners:
    a) using the current disguise functionality also for javascript files, e.g: jquery.adrotate.dyngroup.js and jquery.adrotate.clicktracker.js;
    b) abandoning widgets, if it is not possible to disguise them changing the ajdg_bnnrwidgets and ajdg_grpwidgets classes and ids;
    c) abandoning javascript clicktracker jquery.adrotate.clicktracker.js if it is not possible to disguise its files and use a server side link tracking system instead, based on php, e.g.: https://www.website.com/track/click?link=ccb66cd9db68r7f9s570f3705 possibly obfuscated too, eg: https://www.website.com/k/k?k=ccb66cd9db68r7f9s570f3705 with each link id AdRotate could generate a redirect to the real banner link, after counting clicks, this system is common in direct email marketing tools;

    2 offer, optionally, a configurable ad block detector with warning messages, popups and possibly block access to the page until ad blocker is disabled.

    3 what else?

    1. Any namechange just gets the new name blocked.
    2. Any widget class change just gets the new name blocked.
    3. Any tracking url just gets it’s pattern blocked.

    All has been considered already.
    It’s cat and mouse.

    If you truly want to make a difference, advocate for the removal of the term “adrotate” and “track” and other such generic umbrella terms from the easylist block list.
    Or encourage people to not use an adblocker – Maybe because your site is better and less annoying with pushing ads then others.

    That said – I do have an idea for a randomizing feature. Once I figure it out it may appear in AdRotate Professional.
