Is there a web adblocker that cant be detected by sites that are having their ads blocked?

The silly thing is of course is that if content providers kept it sensible, none of this would be necessary.
A reasonable amount of ads is perfectly acceptable
Reasonable being where the ad content doesn't significantly detract from the site experience or significantly slow down the connection speed.
the problem arises where, unless one actually uses an ad blocker, sites become unusable and even a 40 meg connection slows to a crawl.
Its the same with commercial TV.
Back in the 60s ITV commercial TV ran to about 50 mins/hour of actual programming EG I have a DVD set of start trek TOS. These episodes typically run for around 50 minutes.
Programming today runs as low as 37 minutes/hour (I think it was an episode of Gotham that ran to 37 minutes) Under these circumstances of course people are going to use PVR's and FF through the ads.
The correct reaction to the growing use of ad blockers and PVR's is not more aggressive advertising!
It is to rethink the way ads are being used to make them more acceptable to the public so that they do not mind watching them..
