Do as blockers typically block the user agent? Or have people just gotten lazy and only bother looking at JavaScript generated analytics logs and not actual server logs?

Or have user agents devolved to the point where every browser lists every other browser and you genuinely can't tell them apart anymore?

Seems like you should still be able to identify the browser without a fancy analytics package.

Yes.

On the other hand, if you're running adblock, many sites probably don't care how and if the site works for you.

Sites that are directly taking your money should care. Or, at least, I would expect them to, but they don't seem to care at all.
