This has nothing to do with blocking ads. You'd still be affected by this hack whether you were running adblock or not - the service is designed to be extremely difficult for adblockers to catch except maybe on a site-by-site basis. It's more of an argument for blocking all scripts.

- DanBlake 11y agoThis is a service publishers use to show ads when a user has a adblocker enabled. It works on the most popular adblocker, adblock plus (firefox/chrome). Not sure if it works on ublock origin or ghostery/others, but those are still a small proportion of all adblock users. Noscript would have protected you though, which has a pretty large install base.

- redml 11y agoAdblock extensions block tracking as well as an extra perk, sometimes by default (ublock origin does). Ultimately their tracking script is a metric they're using to help sell their product/agenda to more users anyway, so its a form of advertising either way, or at the very least in a similar realm.
