It&#x27;s a valiant effort, but there&#x27;s really no way they&#x27;ll win this battle.

It shouldn&#x27;t be too hard to make the site believe that the ad content is running, when it&#x27;s not actually running.<p>Not a perfect approach, but if bandwidth &#x2F; compute &#x2F; memory is not an issue, it could be a novel way to respond to more sophisticated ad block detect mechanisms that come out.
