AdBlock is for blocking (annoying) ads, not trackers.

Depends on the filter list. EasyPrivacy is designed to block trackers, and if you look at the list

you'll see that Demandbase is there.

Well it does seem to block some retargeting pixels -- and this seems like a worse form of retargeting.

AdBlock blocks requests by URL matching and hides DOM nodes based on a handful of selectors. Whether this blocking and hiding is targeted towards ads or not is incidental.
