Notes

The responsible code:

    var ranTwice = false;

    function RzFOZJCiWS() {
        var visibleAds = 0;
        jQuery(".gooWidget > .adsbygoogle" ).each(function( i ) {
            if (jQuery(this).is(':visible') && jQuery(this).children().length > 0) {
                visibleAds += 1;
            }
        });
        console.log("Visible ads: " + visibleAds);

        var canRunAds = false;
        if(visibleAds >= 2) { canRunAds = true; } else { canRunAds = false;}

        if(jQuery(".downloadButton").length > 0) {
            if(canRunAds == true)
            {
                jQuery(".downloadButton").removeClass("disabled");
            }
            else
            {
                var elapsedTime = 0;
                var totalTime = 15;
                jQuery(".downloadButton").addClass("disabled");
                jQuery(".downloadCountdown").show();

                //Ad blocker is running for sure, show the countdown
                var timerInterval = setInterval(function() {
                    elapsedTime += 1;
                    var timeLeft = totalTime - elapsedTime;

                    jQuery("#secondsLeft").text(timeLeft);

                    if(timeLeft == 1)
                    {
                        jQuery("#secondsPlural").text("second");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        jQuery("#secondsPlural").text("seconds");
                    }

                    if(elapsedTime >= totalTime) {
                        elapsedTime = totalTime;
                        jQuery(".downloadCountdown").slideUp("slow");
                        jQuery(".downloadButton").removeClass("disabled");
                        clearInterval( timerInterval );
                    }

                }, 1000);

                jQuery("#downloadCountdownBar").width("100%");
            }

            if(canRunAds == false) {
                jQuery("#sidebar .latestWidget").css("margin-top", "0px");
            }

            if(canRunAds && !ranTwice)
            {
                ranTwice = true;
            }
        }
    }

    jQuery(window).load(function() { RzFOZJCiWS(); })

The function name (RzFOZJCiWS here) is different on every page load, so we can't filter based on it.

my fault: I have a custom filter from other tests which seems to work (but with some breakage..):

apkmirror.com##+js(aost, document.querySelector, inlineScript, 2)
