Not all ad blockers remove elements from web pages, and if they acted that predictably you could detect the ad blocker by detecting whether an expected element is hidden.

I have not looked through an ad blocker's code, but I don't believe it is that simple.

Looking at this blogpost for a wordpress blocking plugin, it basically is just adding a bunch of css classes commonly used by ads to a div and some workarounds to support ad blockers that work by blocking files.
