Sounds like that alternative to Ublock that I can’t think of the name of right now that not only blocks ads but also gives a click-through input to every single one, poisoning any ad metrics for the ads as well as any targeted ad profiling on you.

    It somehow works less well than ublock, especially like delayed ads or more dynamic ones. Never a problem block any kinds of ads with UBO.

    I’ve never used it myself, I use UBO as well, but I’ve heard about it before and brought it up because it sounds like it does what the OP was talking about but for ads instead of social media.

  I ran this for a while. It generated some interesting ad choices for me.

    Random things I never saw on the page. Some of the ads I did see were foreign. It had a effect but it also at the time loaded the browser up enough I finally got rid of it.
