I would like a browser addon that drops poisoned data when surfing the web. Instead of trying to restrict how much of my data gets collected, spread useless data across their sites.

Adnauseum does this. I think it simulates clicks to ads and corrupts your advertising profile.

As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile

I don’t get it though. The “listeners” could detect this and subtract 1 click from everything in the page. I guess that would only happen once ad nauseum gets popular.
