@steaksauce have you heard of duckduckgo privacy essentials, privacy badger or any adblcoker extensions or movile browsers made by them?
You can still surf the internet, support it with ads and protect your privacy. -
@mundo03 there’s also adNauseam which is quite effective, but considered as click fraud by some

@-vim- weird concept
Clicking on all ads would definetively be labeled as fraud by the networks, but they still get your info.
The click info sould ve invalid, but the impressions info would still be valid, hence they would still have your browsing habits. -
@mundo03 actually, it smudges your info, and can be used with tracker blocker, the goal is that if they ever collect a bit of info, it js unusable because I clicked all ads. Data flooding, very effective
Pulled this from a web site's privacy policy. Remember, just because there's a switch doesn't mean anyone has to abide to that rule.
Browser “Do Not Track” Signals: Most browsers contain a “do-not-track” setting. In general, when a “do-not-track” setting is active, the user’s browser notifies other websites that the user does not want their personal information and online behavior to be tracked and used, for example, for behavioral advertising. As required by recent Shine the Light law amendments we are required to inform you that, as is the case with most websites, we do not honor or alter our behavior when a user to one of our Websites has activated the “do-not-track” setting on his/her browser.
