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!

    They call it “click fraud”,

    No, click fraud is using botnets to click ads in your site to increase your revenue.

        They can still get money from this. In fact, they get more money from this than with uBlock.

        They recognize how it undermines the digital advertising system, so they did everything in their power to get rid of it before it takes off.

        We really should be recommending adNauseam instead of uBlock.

          OK… If trust is bro, then they won

          But I ain’t no middle schooler, so you need to explain like I am 5 how this solution is in fact superior to uBlock

          Is there any proper research on this?

            It is literally uBlock. It updates with uBlock, uses uBlock filtering, uBlock options, uBlock UI.

            The only difference is that it also does ad fuckery and there is a button that you can press to configure the ad fuckery and see a log of the ad fuckery.

            Other than that it is exactly uBlock.

        They recognize how it undermines the digital advertising system, so they did everything in their power to get rid of it before it takes off. They’re fighting a generational war and don’t want us to even be aware of the tools we have to fight back.

        We really should be recommending adNauseam instead of uBlock.
