FWIW I think it's pretty easy to test if someone is using an adblocker anyway. (I see sites do the "It looks like you're using an adblocker" thing all the time). I don't know if there's any realistic way to entirely hide that.

That's a bit different though- generally speaking those messages show up when the javascript tracker can't talk to the server it's communicating with. Even though it's "detecting" the adblock it isn't able to send information back from the client about it.

Sure they can, they can just send back a resource request. It could even be for like an image with a query string attached with it, it doesn't have to be an ajax request necessarily.
