Well -- only the client side. But the number of users is low -- according
to a recent study, Adblock has something like 144mm users worldwide[1]

I'm not sure how serious this is, considering a lot of EL traffic is
sampled. But we definitely need to understand it better. Who do you think
could help? Analytics can handle the back-end testing, but it would be nice
to find someone with a good knowledge of browsers -- maybe QA?
