What about visually overlaying all the ad areas with something else ... lets say whitespace or cat-pictures instead? ;-)

- twobyfour 9y agoThat depends on what your purpose is for using an ad blocker in the first place. If you just don't want to see ads, by all means overlay them and your ad blocker will probably go undetected. But a lot of people run ad blockers to save bandwidth or avoid being tracked or to avoid the malware that's been known to be distributed through even the most reputable ad networks. Overlays don't solve those problems.
- guilamu 9y agoI guess we can all agree that we can't make it undetectable if ads are not loaded at all. The idea would be to load them in a sandbox environment (so it would be harmless whatever malware is attached) and then just send the webpage back to the user ad free.
