This guide will walk you through how to add a website to an allowlist in every major adblocker.  If after following the instructions, the prompt doesn't go away, try refreshing the web page, as sometimes it is required to implement the changes. 

Website publishers that want to know more about adblock recovery options, how they work, the impact of adblockers on site revenue, and more, can visit this comprehensive  adblock recovery guide.

Update 10/1/2020:The adblock industry is shifting from the term whitelist, to allowlist; please keep this in mind if there are still articles or references to whitelist in searches and blogs. 

How do I whitelist a website?

The methods to whitelist a website vary by browser and browser extension. For most standalone adblockers, or adblocker extensions added to a browser, you can click their icon, then click an option to toggle or pause a site being blocked.

This will add them to the adblockers allowlist, yet retain adblock functionality for other websites. For browser built-in blockers, you typically click settings, and go to their privacy section to add or remove websites from your allowlist.

Update 10/1/2020:The adblock industry is shifting from the term whitelist, to allowlist; please keep this in mind if there are still articles or references to whitelist in searches and blogs. In most cases they are referring to similar functionality across adblock vendors. Some pages may use both terms interchangeably for a period of time to accommodate user search expectations. Admiral has written an article to clarify the definition of allowlist and list benefits to adblock users and publishers.
