For less cooperative sites such as mlb.com, I do disable ABP temporarily for that site only (without restarting SM), and they work tolerably well (of course mlb.com refuses to play videos in SM without serving ads, though it plays them without complaint in IE+ABP).

For the least cooperative sites that absolutely refuse to do anything as long as they can detect ABP, I just don't browse them unless their info is mission-critical, and in that case a temporary disability ;-) suffices.

This is a place where NoScript can also be useful. Detection of ad-blocking is something that relies on scripts, and if scripts don't run, then you don't get a whine about ad-blocking.

Of course, some sites are very script-heavy, and to get functionality that you want, you may have to do some amount of whitelisting, and sometimes the scripting that delivers what you want may also be the same scripting that looks for the presence of blockers.

There's definitely trade-offs.
