If it can be identified by any mechanical means, including by element xpath, by id, by class, by CSS properties, by the fact it got inserted after document load, by OCR of the image... then it can be ad blocked. A "sufficiently smart" adblock could be as good at spotting ads as a human.

- marssaxman 13y agoThere are a fair number of sites that simply don't work properly with adblock on. I load the page and I get a big grey blankness. I just shrug and move on - there's plenty more where whatever it was came from. It's well worth not having to look at ads.
