Google announced they are now going to expand Google Funding Choices (link my not work for you so go here instead) to more countries.

Google Funding Choices is a program to help publishers recover lost revenue due to ad blockers by having the users pay to not show ads on your site. When a visitor arrives at a site using an ad blocker, Funding Choices allows the site to display one of three message types to that user.
