An easy way to detect is to see if an ad div is visible and > 0px tall.

Edit: Clarification: Most ad blockers collapse the divs where ads would have appeared. That's the tell I use to detect ad blockers. There are other, more sophisticated techniques but this is easy and works a good % of the time.

I suppose the next question is how does the ad blocker detect circumvention techniques?

If you have experience in this I would love to read about some of it as it sounds fascinating.
