There are multiple sites that will block your access completely if they detect an ad blocker - that isn't ad related.
I contribute to the EasyPrivacy list a bit, and there are a number of sites that do massive device fingerprinting, loading Java, Windows Media, attempting to livestream, enumerate your ports with websockets, port scan your LAN after getting your LAN subnet via WebRTC, if you refuse any of these your account is flagged as fraud.

- dylz 7y agoI would be unsurprised if Instagram was collecting a lot more than just this, but the web-login for Facebook used to use websockets to portscan VNC/RDP/etc ports on localhost in addition to all the fingerprinting and enumeration, so this entire situation wasn't exactly surprising
