Yep, it's about to become a never ending fight

Ad blockers vs ad blocker detectors.

At least untill the lobbyist big companies lobby for laws to start suing people for using ad blockers in "violation" of their tos due to a form of "circumvention measure"

At least right now, the code is freely available due to the nature of how HTML, JavaScript and CSS works. - this nature is exactly how a government agency got caught leaking SSNs of teachers, and due to the law, couldn't perform legal action at what they called a "hacking" attempt.

It feels like its only a matter of time before these shitty companies seek to close that law in order to start calling HTML analysis "hacking"
