You expect people to go out of their way to support ad blockers???

Do you want your shop to work despite people blocking the tracking? Do you want to sell stuff in your shop or did you build it to track people?

Ad blockers don't just block ads.

Depends on what their business is. Apple's $99-a-year developer portal recently broke because I block Adobe's Omniture tracking. The same happened to me on an ad-free, crowdfunded news site that I've backed. In these cases, "does not work with ABP/ublock/Ghostery" is a valid bug report.
