Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.

What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don’t you like, would you recommend them?

    As per their website:

    As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks’ databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile

      Yep that’s it. It’s not only an ad blocker, but an a huge middle finger to the ad industry. Leaving this on for a few weeks can cause thousands in damages. And you can set it up to only do this to tracking ads. It’s pretty neat. You definitely should not run this with an extension that frequently refreshes the page though. That would definitely be a very bad idea if everyone did that.
