Ads as overlays inside frames/element picker can't grab them #2758

I have noticed a problem with page elements on many websites where the website will hide an ad inside the frame of the element you are trying to access it. The annoying thing is, that this fools the element picker because it will highlight the entire frame if you try highlighting the ad that is on top of it rather than just the ad element itself. This is becoming an increasingly-large problem for Adnauseum as many websites seem to be getting wise to how Ublock and Adnauseum element blocking work.

Here is one website as an example...

https://wwww.putlockers.io/movies/chainsaw-man-the-movie-reze-arc/

I will also include a picture to show what I mean. That ad inside the video player frame is not picked up by Adnauseum, and you cannot highlight it to block it without accidentally selecting the video player. This is but one example but I keep seeing this happen across several websites in increasing amounts.

As an aside, I also tried blocking that ad at the bottom of the page but it also keeps coming back.
