I'm pretty sure at least some of the popular adblockers out there block based on basic keywords as well. We had some users complain that an adblocker was blocking valid parts of our web app because some of the page elements had IDs that started with '#ad-' since 'A.D.' was an internal abbreviation for one of our features.
Very interesting, thank you.
