AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking(adnauseam.io)

It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

Haha I imagine they need at least unique ip addresses to count. Now I wonder if for clicks to count you need to properly click through and load the target website with the same “browser fingerprint”.

Careful: that then enters the world of ad fraud, which randos like us doing the clicking isn’t considered as.
