  That doesn't really matter for two reasons:

1) Even in that case the ads usually come from a specific directory hierachy
which can be blacklisted.

2) If *one* website bypasses AdBlock, who cares? The fact that AdBlock works
on the million other websites who have external advertisers is reason enough
to use it.
