I’d never heard of AdNauseam; does it replace uBlock entirely? Is it possible to run both?
Comment on The internet is bad ux, everybody. There's too many choices.

I used to want this unironically, id pay $30 a month to not see any ads AT ALL. However my mind has changed. I now see ad companies as immoral and, quite frankly, evil.
I would rather not only not give them money, but I choose to use a Ublock Origin fork AdNauseam that ‘clicks’ on all the ads. This seems counter intuitive, but since some advertisers pay per click so clicking a total of a combined 10,000 advertisements on my desktop/laptop/steam deck/whatever costs them a LOT of money, and I’ve bought 0 products from advertisements because i haven’t seen any advertisements!

Just run adnauseam on its own. I use it too, my thinking is that I am going to be tracked anyway. So instead of trying and almost certainly failing at avoiding it, you just overwhelm them with so much random data that it becomes worthless.

Makes sense, thanks!

It is literally a fork of uBO

It’s fucked when the unlimited option in this meme is less then I pay for internet now. I pay over 200 a month just for the fucking internet. Fuck Cox cable and shit choices I don’t have in my town.

Fuck that is expensive. £24/month here and I use 4G so I can take my router anywhere and it just works.

Christ, I knew Australian ISP pricings were exy but that’s absurd.
I’m looking at going to a 500 / 250? (Might be 100 up) Plan for around 140 AUD per month, I’d much rather have symmetrical Gbit but that’s well put of my price range.
$200 USD is around $315 AUD currently, that’s a whole ballpark of fucked up.

Yes it is. But that is the price to have gigabyte internet with unlimited data. Unfortunately without that it cost me more than 200 a month. Because they charge 50 dollars every gig you go over your data cap. So I pay 100 bucks so we don’t. Because I have 3 gamers in the house streams.
I tried to go lower but every fucking time I get nailed with the limit and end up 300 dollar bills. It’s shit but all I can get here.
