I honestly don't think it's really necessary (or fair) for us to have to try to code in support for addons, particularly ones such as ad blockers where there are many different types of blocker by many different developers and there's no way to know which user is using which combination of which addon.
Sure, you could code up some js to check the user agent and then modify the site based on what addons are found but that requires an immeasureable amount of unnecessary coding needed to fix issues caused by people modifying your site and not actually by the site itself.
I understand that ad blockers are widely used and maybe if there were only one ad blocker by one company in existence you might have a point but it's completely unrealistic to try to support every possible addon on every browser.
