I think it would still detect you’re ad blocking. What you’re describing isn’t much different than how Brave blocks ads on a browser level. Usually the way they detect ad blocking is they put some piece of information or key in the ads themselves and ask the browser for that key. If it doesn’t have it, because the ad is blocked, they can assume you’re running an ad blocker. Pi hole not even letting it hit your computer would trigger that.
Idk how the new ads 2.0 system works for chrome though. Sounds like a kernel level ad-key check. Which would be even more reliable for them I assume.

Cat: …Wait a moment, we’re using Ad Nauseam. Which stores the ads and fakes clicks on them.
Lucifer: Would that spoof the key check?
