Pixel is blocked by ad blockers

Hello,

The Shopify pixel doesn’t work with ad blockers and I’ve tried all the things to try and fix it on my end but I don’t think there’s anything that can be done (especially because it affects other apps I’ve tested it on). I tried this with uBlock Origin, Adblock plus, and some other ad blockers and they all show the same thing. I’ve included a screenshot of logs from visiting a store with pixels using an ad blocker.

If it’s not a solvable problem, it would at least be good to include that it doesn’t work with ad blockers in the documentation because I spent a lot of time debugging when I first implemented my app’s pixel to find out that it wasn’t working because of my ad blocker. Would surely save people some time to know about it.

@Liam-Shopify Is this a known issue? Are there any plans to fix it or should I just add a workaround? I know this is a problem that other affiliate apps face (and presumably any apps that use the pixel), I’ve seen other apps use a theme extension to do it. Would be good to know in any case though. Thanks!
