While an interesting idea, there is no evidence that supports that Ad Nauseum adversely impacts reporting metrics. This is due to ad servers all determining click by different methods. It rarely ever aligns. It likely doesn’t impact user targeting either as your behavior still hasn’t really changed and clicks aren’t typically used for that purpose.
You’re better off just running UBlock Origin. Punishing advertisers doesn’t really make any sense anyway. The blame is really on publisher groups and their rampant greed. Auto-clicks just further that.
@yuuunikki my lineup is:
Ad Nauseum, clicks ads in the background to not only block but screw over ad companies
Bypass paywalls clean, kinda in the name (not in the extension store tho)
Web Archives, for taken down content etc
if i block ads does ad nauseum even do anything?

@cr3w
It’s blocks ads as it clicks them. I don’t think it works with other adblockers, but you shouldn’t use more than one anyways.
Do note it does use more traffic then a typical adblocker, so if data is a concern stick to your current one
