  • (2016-12-12) Worked perfectly.
  • (2016-07-27) Doesn't work anymore, if it ever did. Not sure.
  • (2016-07-25) Ilias G: Oh yeah!
  • (2016-07-12) Kevin Yuliawan: Does exactly what it advertises. Works great.
  • (2016-07-11) Brian Zaiger: Does exactly what it says on the box. Nothing to screw with or settings to adjust, it just works.
  • (2016-05-17) Ortal Gefen: Even after I whitelisted forbes for adblock, I was still getting caught on this screen. Thank you for making this available.
  • (2016-05-13) Shervin Grey: Wow! that was neat.
  • (2016-04-16) Alexander Huszagh: Working as of April, 15th, 2016. Does exactly what it says.
  • (2016-03-31) David Sworder: I gave up on Forbes when they started blocking users like me who use AdBlock Plus. As a matter of practice, I won't disable ad blocking for ANY site -- much less a mediocre one like Forbes. Just for fun I thought I'd see if this handy extension would thwart Forbes' blocking mechanism and it sure did. Works like a charm! And as an added bonus, that useless "quote of the day" screen vanishes as well.
  • (2016-03-16) Wave55: This is amazing!
  • (2016-02-27) Added it and it began working immediately. Thanks developer, and screw you Forbes.
  • (2016-02-07) James Pistell: Whenever I see an article from Forbes on Digg or Reddit I roll my eyes knowing I'll have suffer their mildly infuriating splash screen. Not anymore with this plugin! Don't reward low quality blog spammers with unecessary pageviews
  • (2016-01-16) ವಾಸುಕಿ ನರಸಿಂಹ: It's working great! Their site is insisting the visitors to disable ad block. This is the best way to get rid of that. Thank you.
  • (2016-01-15) Scripps Grove: Works perfectly as of January 15, 2016
  • (2015-12-29) Steven Smith: Works as expected. Bypasses the "turn off your adblocker" screen.
  • (2015-11-12) Alec Muller: Worked great until Forbes recently updated their website (now doesn't work).
  • (2015-08-02) works well
  • (2015-04-10) J Clifton Meek: Forbes has occasionally interesting articles. they have a disdain for their visitors with their splash screen. This little app is great and does what it says. You do need to close and restart Chrome after you've installed, then it's as though the splash screen never existed. Good job!
