Install Firefox with https://adnauseam.io/, it's basically ublock origin but internally clicks on every add destroying your adds profile and damaging economics of adds and conversion.

Doesn't this just track the shit out of you? Does it also click malicious ad banners?

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Well, it anonymizes you by "faking" the tracking. I would hope it takes steps to sandbox the ads.

Step 2: install Privacy Badger

And Facebook Container is another useful one.

Don't, privacy badge and adnauseam will interfere eachothers and as result you will get worst results, you are better off using a DNS level adblocker (eg: Pihole or NextDNS if you don't/can't self host) alongside uBlock/adnauseam

[–] danielfm123@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Ublock already does the job of privacy badger... Well as far as I know...

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They overlap; Ublock does it through lists, and badger does it through heuristics.

Running just badger, it can miss things, if you can use both, you get all the lists and heuristics, but they're probalby not both necessary

It's best not to use multiple ad blockers at the same time. They'll conflict with each other and you'll be worse off. uBO alone is probably enough.

Conflict with each other how?
