Device Detector is a full featured analytics reporting and management tool that detects all devices accessing your WordPress site.
For each call made to your site, Device Detector analyzes the sent header, detects the device doing the call (and its characteristics) and can:
<ul>
<li>modify the <code>is_mobile()</code> WordPress core function to be more precise and reliable;</li>
<li>add some CSS classes to the <code>body</code> tag of your site (many classes to choose from);</li>
<li>let you use the result of the detection in your own developments;</li>
<li>record detected characteristics for reporting.</li>
</ul>
Device Detector can report the following main items and characteristics:
<ul>
<li>KPIs: number of hits, class breakdown, clients types and engines;</li>
<li>Classes: Bot, Desktop, Mobile and Other;</li>
<li>Devices types: Camera, Car Browser, Console, Feature Phone, Phablet, Portable Media Player, Smart Display, Smartphone, Tablet, TV;</li>
<li>Client types: Application Library, Browser, Feed Reader, Media Player, Mobile Application, PIM.</li>
<li>Technical characteristics and versions of all browsers;</li>
<li>Device identification: brand, model, etc.;</li>
<li>OS identification: name, version, etc.;</li>
<li>Calling channel: site backend, site frontend, cron job, Ajax request, XML-RPC request, Rest API request, Atom/RDF/RSS feed;</li>
</ul>
For a full list of items, characteristics and supported devices, please see the ‘devices’ tab in the plugin settings.

Device Detector

good plugin

Full featured analytics reporting and management tool that detects all devices accessing your WordPress site.

The plugin is very simple and it doesn’t come with any changable options.
The only feature it has is ability to detect the AdBlock (tested on Chrome AdBlock extension) and defines the HTML class allowing to control the visibility of 
the elements on your page based on the detection result eg. you can show an element on your page only if AdBlock is detected, or hide it.

Tiny Simple AdBlock Detector

Detects AdBlocking software and allows to display some html based on detection result. Word for AdBlock for sure. Should work for others.
