So I turned off the new Firefox advertiser-friendly stuff.

But somehow I feel this isn't enough. I want to do more than just turn the feature off, I would prefer to submit poisoned and false data to it continually.

Anyone know a plugin that will flood this bullshit system with fake AI lies or anything like that?

In the page explaining why they silently forced this bullshit on me they say "Attribution is very important to advertisers"

Fuck advertisers. Fuck them. You get that Firefox? It is not your job to be kind to advertisers, it is your job to fuck them on my behalf.

@simeon @pre Deal breaker:

> It is best to remove or disable other adblockers (such as uBlock or Adblock Plus) as they may block ads before AdNauseam can identify or collect them

@draeath @simeon @pre AdNauseam blocks ads by using uBlock origin in the background. That's why you have to disable uBlock.

@narF If it tries to poison advertising data, it must also be clicking on ads that are gateways to malwares. How does AdNauseam handle them?

@RedwanHossain It doesn't actually clicks; it only report fake clicks to the ad network. It certainly won't download malware!

I've been using AdNauseam for more than a year now. Not problem to report. It feels like I'm using uBlock Origin. Just as efficient.
