How is YouTube detecting adblockers? Wouldn't it be with the information the user's browser is already passing to them?
It could check if the ad is present in Dom maybe?
Or they just check the machine to see if the malware served in the ad is present.
Using javascript ofc.It checks if ads successfully loaded and showed to user if not showing banner to u.
