# Adblocker criterion

Adblocker is a triggering criterion that enables defining a [segment](/assets-library/creating-and-managing-segments.md).

To learn how to create a segment, please refer to this [article](/web-experimentation-and-personalization/targeting-step/how-to-create-a-segment-who-section.md).

## 📖 Definition <a href="#h_01hhyajvd081xkxch3293rjrnj" id="h_01hhyajvd081xkxch3293rjrnj"></a>

The Adblocker triggering criterion enables you to include or exclude visitors who have an adblocker on their browser to trigger your campaign.

## ⚙️ Configuration <a href="#h_01hhyajvd0kgdrra7m7yaf333w" id="h_01hhyajvd0kgdrra7m7yaf333w"></a>

To configure the Adblocker criterion, select the Adblocker trigger in the list of triggers and select if you want include (`is using`) or exclude (`is not using`) browsers using an adblocker.

If you include browsers using an Adblocker, the campaign will be triggered only when the adblocker of the visitors’ browser is enabled on their active session.

Conversely, if you exclude browsers using an Adblocker, the campaign will be triggered only when the AdBlocker of the visitors’ browser is disabled on their active session.

## 💡 Use case <a href="#h_01hhyajvd0at6wrg9k85sk9wg7" id="h_01hhyajvd0at6wrg9k85sk9wg7"></a>

For example, you want to display a message on your website to warn your users that they need to disable the adblocker on their browser to be able to watch a video.

In this case, you need to display the campaign to visitors who use an AdBlocker on their browser.

To do so, select *is* in the AdBlocker triggering criteria of your campaign.

If visitors disable the AdBlocker of their browser after they see the message, they won’t see the message anymore and will be able to watch the video. If they enable the AdBlocker again afterwards, they will see the message again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.abtasty.com/assets-library/creating-and-managing-triggers/list-of-trigger-criteria/adblocker-criterion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
