Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking

  If you’re still using chrome at this point that’s on you.

    I use Librewolf. The comment was meant as info for those who think that having uBlock as a base still holds significance in light of Manifest v3.

      I meant the general “you.”

    I was actually curious about this as we’re forced to use Edge or.Chrome at work.

  The solution is simple. Chrome ditches manifest v2? Ditch Chrome.

  It’s not even available on chrome because google removed it years ago.

  They weren’t breaking any rules, but google saw it as a threat and kept it removed since there wasn’t sufficient backlash.

  Really wish people would STFU about the “privacy” aspect about this. It gives junk data to trackers because it floods them with all the ads you’re coming across. The main purpose, though, is to charge advertisers money without giving them a service in return.

  It’s sad most of you consumers can’t see the real significance of this software, but it really puts into perspective why most people are useful idiots these days.

  Consumerism has won.

    Is there an aspect of privacy through throwing loads of bullshit data though? Instead of blocking the tracking you flood it with crap

    You could try being just a little optimistic if you want to sell your actually good points. Consumerism wins when you let it, and the only way to judge when it has are by your own merits, even now it gets to you with that mindset.
