Yes, that would be great.

Already announced for version 2 of this add-on...
But since there is a template condition for ad-blocking users in the current version, you already can do everything you want (it is just a little bit more complicated)
Ask him what other extentions he has installed in the browser. Maybe he has more than one adblocker.
Can you see ads on the site?

He said that he had no other AdBlock extension installed. I am not sure if I can believe that.
Ask him about Ghostery or for a list off all his browser plugins. Many ad-blockers are not named "ad-block".

I have already listed all the major adblock extensions (also ghostery) to him and he said that they are not installed. Could it be possible that it has something to do with cookies or browser cache?
Send me please your site's URL, I'll take a look. You may start a conversation if prefer not to post it here.
Well, to verify that, ask him if he can see ads on the site.

He showed me a screenshot where the ad was not showing. So, therefore I am sure that he is not saying the truth about which chrome extensions he actually has installed.
I guess that I do not need to investigate any further at this point as long as I am not receiving a list of all installed chrome extensions.

So what exactly is it that you want to do if you detect someone using an adblocker? If you put them into a special user group, then what is it that you would do with this group? And just how can any software know if it's ads are being blocked?

EDIT: Just saw that thing at the top about increasing ad revenue. Maybe what we need is an ad block detector blocker.

I will take a look later today and will let you know. Is someone else, besides you, experiences the same problem in your site?
It is known fact that adblocker is the most popular browser extention. Therefore, most of your users probably aren't exposed to ads at all. In other words, you're losing money.
With this addon you can ask users to disable their adblockers, or force them to do it in order to access the site.
Blocking an adblocker is impossible. If it was possible adblockers wouldn't exists.
What you can do is to place another ad instead of the first ad. This is something PageFair does for example.
https://pagefair.com/
If you disable these extensions (instead of whitelisting), do you still get the alert?
If an blocked ad has been detected, it is possible to place (back load) another ad into the space where the first ad has been blocked.
https://pagefair.com/ is a company where you can register for free and get a code to add to your site. This code gives you statistics about how many visitors of your site uses ad blockers. It also allows you to optionally show "fair" ads to them within the original (blocked) ad space.
Adblockers can block ads even if dynamically loaded into the page.
That's true that "fair" ads have higher chance not be blocked (because of the agreement with few adblockers), but this only applies to some adblockers, and only if the user agrees to this. User can choose to block fair ads as well.
Anyway, even in the best case that user uses adblocker which accept fair ads, it still only an alternative to the problem. It is not "adblock blocker" solution (such solution should allow to use any kind of ads).
