An anti-adblock defuser for Nano Adblocker and uBlock Origin
Nano Defender can only protect either Nano Adblocker or uBlock Origin, and will prioritize Nano Adblocker.
Get Nano Defender for Chrome or Chromium
(Developers Only) Get Nano Defender for Edge
Maintainers wanted for other browsers (open an issue on GitHub to let me know).
If you are using uBlock Origin, there are a few extra installation steps to follow.
Some solutions require Chrome or Chromium 66 or higher to work, make sure to update your browser.
Nano Defender is 100% free, and I do not accept donation. Now and in the future. My GitHub ID is jspenguin2017, my GitLab ID is xuhaiyang1234, and my domain is jspenguin.com. Be careful to not get scammed by someone who is pretending to be a developer of Nano Defender.
Since Flash player will be completely removed in 2020, websites that have anti-adblock after requesting Flash support are now low priority.
Are your filters up to date?
Do you have proper regional filters activated?
Is Nano Defender up to date?
Are you using another extension that may cause conflicts?
Are you using another filter list that may cause conflicts?
Did you change any settings that may cause your adblocker to misbehave?
If you are using uBlock Origin, did you properly follow the extra installation steps?
Are you using Anti-Adblock Killer, AAK-Cont, or uBO-Extra? Nano Defender does similar things as they do which can lead to conflicts.
Are you using more than one adblocker? Nano Defender can only protect one adblocker and will prioritize Nano Adblocker.
Will there be a configurable whitelist for Nano Defender?
Not until I have a reliable way to synchronously send configuration data to content scripts. This is a limitation of browser APIs.
Can console messages be turned off?
No, I need to see the console output on your end to quickly find the cause of your issues, that is why I ask for a screenshot of the console when you open an issue.
In production mode, all the console messages will begin with [Nano], so you can easily filter them out.
Can mining wall be bypassed?
No, that is not possible if the implementation on the server side is correct.
Adblockers block mining scripts by default and I will not add an exception if the mining process is started automatically.
The control is in your hand, whitelist the page if you absolutely need the resource locked behind the Captcha.
Nano Defender is causing (further) breakage.
Report it and I will try to take care of it within 2 days. Keep in mind that this only apply to breakage caused by Nano Defender, other breakages may not be fixed this fast.
A website freezes with Nano Defender enabled.
Some websites will intentionally freeze (with an infinite loop for example) once they detect Nano Defender, it could also be caused by a bug in Nano Defender.
Either way, report it and I will try to take care of it within 2 days. Keep in mind that this only apply to freezings caused by Nano Defender, other freezings may not be fixed this fast.
You can use task manager to terminate the tab that froze, go to Menu -> More tools -> Task manager, select the tab that froze, then click End process.
A website is still detecting my adblocker.
Nano Defender is not magical, a lot of websites need to be fixed on a case by case basis. Report it and I will have a look. Depending on the website, it can take some time.
A website is perceptibly slower with Nano Defender enabled.
Report it and I will have a look.

After months of intense cat and mouse game, I have decided to give up. This is unfortunate but this is the only way to go. I highly recommend you to stop visiting these websites. If that is not an option, you can load Nano Defender in debug mode into Chrome or Chromium to activate proprietary solutions.
Click here to learn more, make sure to read and understand all the instructions.
The code for loading these proprietary solutions will not uploaded to the extension stores.
Check open issues in the following issues trackers for other known issues
Nano Defender Primary Issues Tracker
Before opening an issue, always check if there is already another issue opened.
If you are using Edge, report all issues to NanoFilters.
For missed ads and tracking scripts, report to EasyList.
For hard anti-adblock (allow ads or leave type) and popups, report to uAssets.
For cookie notices, report to Fanboy.
For any other filter issues, report to NanoFilters.
For bugs, suggestions, and questions, report to NanoCore.
The version of uBlock Origin that Nano Adblocker uses can be found in About section of Nano Dashboard. I am aware that Nano Adblocker is different, but when it comes to filters, most of the times things work the same. If you have been told by contributors at uAssets that your issue could not be reproduced, ping @jspenguin2017 or report it again to NanoFilters.
Step 1. Enable Adblock Warning Removal List.
Step 2. Install Nano Defender Integration filter list.
Step 3. Go to uBlock Origin dashboard, select "Settings" tab, check "I am an advanced user", click the gears that shows up, replace "unset" after "userResourcesLocation" by "https://jspenguin.com/NanoAdblocker/AssetsMirror/NanoResources.txt" (without quotes).
Note: If you have another User Resources in use, then you would need to either switch to Nano Adblocker or manually merge resources. It takes an eternity to get any resources into uAssets, I have tried.
Step 4. Install Nano filters.
Step 5. Install Nano filters - Whitelist.
Note: My filter lists are now hosted on my own server after criticism from Raymond Hill. Although the old links will still work if you prefer them.
