Privacy Extensions That Fight Ads

Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc) WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

The image is a dark-background text post listing privacy browser extensions: Ad Nauseum blocks ads and generates fake clicks, TrackMeNot creates random searches, WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters with “FuckOff,” and Privacy Possum falsifies data. The joke is the gleefully aggressive attitude toward advertisers and tracking companies, presenting increasingly hostile privacy tools as satisfying ways to waste their money and corrupt their analytics.
