Where do you draw the line? 0x0 doesn't work. Let's use 1x1 and blend it in somewhere. 10x10? Probably can find a square somewhere to hide it. Or a long rectangle at the bottom perhaps with a solid color. I don't see blocking 0x0 as a real solution to the problem.
noscript would, but (imho) it's too intrusive.
would adblockplus have blocked it? what about ghostery, disconnect, et al?
