    yep for websites that’s literally just checking if their ad element exists in the DOM tree.

    const myAdElementSelector = "#fuckingAd";
const myAdElement = document.querySelector(myAdElementSelector);
if (!myAdElement) return "yes user is using adblocker";

    simple as.

    or maybe not honestly i don’t know i just wanted everyone to know i know javascript.

      You’re running software on my computer to check the state of the web page. That’s spying.
