AdNauseum plugin combined with VPN and private browser mode.
It's an ad blocker that clicks everything.
I've kind of always wanted to use AdNauseum, but since I still depend on my Google account somewhat I'm hesitant to give them reasons to delete me, and I've settled for blocking ads and supporting rival services.
Has anyone had their google account banned over this?
Private browser mode in many browsers disables plugins by default, and also doesn't do anything to stop trackers or data collection. All private mode does is keep your activity private from others who also have access to your device (e.g. family members, roommates), by not saving browser history/cookies/etc.
Also, VPN's can be helpful, but there are ways to "fingerprint" individual users behind VPN's by how they move their mouse and click speed and what websites they visit etc… I imagine plugins like AdNauseum could help with that. It's a clever idea, I'll have to check it out - thanks!
Firefox can allow plugins in private mode. I only mentioned private mode because it ensures you're not logged in anywhere.
Is this chaotic neutral or chaotic evil?
I contend that it's chaotic good.
