How should I fail gracefully when ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT?

I'm making a call to a geolocation API:

$.ajax({
  url: 'https://freegeoip.net/json/',
  type: 'POST',
  dataType: 'jsonp'
})
.done(function(location) {
  console.log("success");
})
.fail(function() {
  console.log("error");
})
.always(function() {
  console.log("complete");
});

adblockers appear to block this, and I get the error ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT when adblocker is enabled. The problem is, it doesn't trigger either of the .done, .fail or .always handlers. I'm wondering if there's a solution that will trigger on ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT so that I can fail gracefully.

I could always execute a piece of code to see if a value was set after say 5 seconds, but I'd like something more complete.

I take it the `done()` handler is triggered, so is there anything passed into that that would help? – Reinstate Monica Cellio Feb 12 '18 at 12:32
Nope, nothing gets triggered – HJo Feb 12 '18 at 12:33
you may try to put your code in a `try/catch` – artur grzesiak Feb 12 '18 at 12:36

I think https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40527328/is-it-possible-to-catch-neterr-blocked-by-client might be the more appropriate duplicate here. – CBroe Feb 12 '18 at 12:38
@CBroe This wont work because of jsonp. – Yury Tarabanko Feb 12 '18 at 12:40
@CBroe yes - that seemed to work, updating jQuery to version 3 – HJo Feb 12 '18 at 12:45
