It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

      This is an excessive approach that risks collateral damage to 3rd parties who are not involved.

      I have no issues with blocking ads (internet is unusable without ublock origin + Pihole), but actually simulating clicks is IMO not the right approach.

        I still don’t get why you think it’s not the right approach. Seems perfectly fine to me.

          Because this will cause problems for independent website operators.

          Blocking ads is one thing, but this risks fucking up their digital advertising accounts.

            Isn’t that the point, to fuck up digital advertising accounts so the data is unreliable and can’t be used?
