Of course they can do this. They don't want to do it. How else would they push ads through their ad blocker?

Unlike some ad blockers, AdGuard’s business model, while for profit, doesn’t include taking money to let ads through, contrary to, say, AdBlock Plus or Ghostery.

AdGuard does have an option for users to allow inline search results ads and sites’ “self promotion” ads. More here:

Ghostery doesn't take money to unblock ads like AdBlock Plus. The decision what to block on a site depends on the community lists (e.g. EasyList, FanBoy). If you want to get unblocked in Ghostery, you need to convince the maintainers of the community lists.
