Do they? I remember not long ago I just had to have an ads.js file, and if the user had an adblocker this file wouldn't load.

So I just had a

var ads_enabled = true;

And I could check if the user had an adblock.

I think most people just install ublock/others and leave it default. When I tried to customize ublock all those lists and regex pushed me away, never tried again since.

Ads can mean many things. It could be short for something (for example Active Directory Settings). I remember getting something legitimate blocked like 10 years ago but nothing in recent years so I imagine the detection got better at dealing with that.
