What about replying yes, then blocking ads?
Your device would return a signature to say that there's no adblocking software on the device.
And that signature can't be spoofed? Or the browser can't be sandboxed and quarantined so it is made unaware of such software, and the software applied retroactively?
People will always find a workaround, look at rooting of phones for example. But they shouldn't have to. I mean look at how banking apps refuse to work on rooted phones but work in a browser on your desktop without any issues. It will be the same with this. Your device is rooted, we can't show you this webpage.
