So there is an add-on for all major browers called "AdNauseam".. It uses ublock-origin as its base, but instead of just hiding the ads like normal ublock-origin does, it also sends fake click signals to every ad on every site you visit..
As you know, advertisers have to pay google for every click; but when they are all mostly fake clicks, the advertiser ends up having to pay google tons of money because their click-through rate sky-rockets but yet none of those fake clicks ends up turning in to a sale..
In these cases google has to end up sending the advertisers refund checks to compensate for all the fake clicks.. While google has always sent refund checks for invalid clicks, the amount usually is never very high......until very recently when 4chan decided to start a fake-click war against google as retribution for the adpocalypse on youtube and the censoring and shutting-down of "hate speech" websites and the banning of gab from the play store..
This meteoric spike in fake clicks has affected google more than they are willing to let on, because they are afraid that if people know it is affecting their #1 source of income (advertising) they are afraid that more people will join in on it and hurt their revenue even further.. They have now even gone so far as to outright ban the plug-in from the chrome add-ons website, but you can still install it on chrome from the main adnauseam github site.. The firefox version is still completely downloadable straight from the firefox add-ons site..
The reason it hurts google so much is because it is causing their advertisers to lose trust in google.. The advertisers them selves can't tell how many clicks were fake or real, and I'm not sure google can always tell either, so when they send refund checks the advertiser can't be sure if google is paying them back the amount they deserve, so that loses a little bit of trust already.. Some of the advertisers are already complaining about the lowish level of refunds they are getting compared to how many fake clicks they are receiving, and they are demanding that google provide them more detailed information about how many of these clicks are actually real.. And the advertisers are getting annoyed about the insane amount of fake clicks any way, so it throws any type of analytics way off to the point of being useless..
Hundreds and hundreds of advertisers have already been affected by this, so it is already instilling a major impact..

I suggest installing it on IceCat along with the profile spoofer set to change every hour.
Fuck google.

Will I need an email cable? Or, can i download the gui straight from the mainframe?

Just don't cross the phases and you'll be alright.
[–] EuropeanRapeWar 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Good idea. I have an add-on for standard Firefox editions that will completely mess up the browser's fingerprint every few minutes without restarts anyway.

It works on icecat?
[–] TheTrigger 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
Just don't use Pale Moon.
[–] ZX4jBXu 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
Icecat is a firefox fork so it should have no problem working.
[–] KikeFree 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Indeed it does.

mine has gotten almost $3000 dollars worth of clicks.
[–] ComedicGoat 1 point 6 points 7 points (+7|-1) ago
Been running it for a month only, but I've gotten $520 worth of clicks already. Love it. Can't recommend it enough for anyone wanting to outjew Jewgle.
[–] Dingolicious 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
How are you seeing how much money of clicks your AdNauseum has had? I've had mine for a while now.
[–] Laserchalk 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
you click on the icon and there is a button that lets you see the ad vault.

I'm game.
Should I turn off my uBlock Origin or run both? Anyone know?

Perf answer, thanks.
Running now, testing it on reddit, already block-clicked my first ad. Great start to the weekend!
[–] GreaseLightning 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
From what I have heard you should only run Adnauseam as it also blocks ads like ublock origin
[–] 10583958? 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Sounds reasonable, I'll do that, thanks for the quick reply.
[–] RandomGoater 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
I've been installing it on all the work computers as I get time. We have a local news page that uses a lot of Google ads that everyone at work goes to. Several computers have over a thousand dollars each in clicked ads.

Is it possible that Google could take retaliation against people using this extension by closing our accounts?
I need my google account for work.
[–] RumpRangerRick 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
This fear is the only thing stopping me from using it. Losing my gmail account would be extremely unpleasant.
[–] tendiesonfloor 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago (edited ago)
Then you need to move from gmail ASAP you dumb nigger. You're a fucking idiot to let google hold your life hostage. Go pay for prontonmail. You're the customer rather than a person they're victimizing.
[–] Phuc_Dat_Bich 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Get away from gmail asap.

I remember reading that it actually sends real clicks and it can be a burden on your network. Can anyone confirm or debunk?
[–] KikeFree 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
It does, but how often it does is configurable. I don't think you would notice unless you have a dialup modem.
[–] TheTrigger 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
Or pay for mobile internet access per MB, like some plebeian.

I've been using AdNauseum on Pale Moon for some time now, even though Moon child tried to block it's installation for some bullshit reason. Probably because Google slipped him a few g's.
So far I'm happy as a clam to be using this extension and I hope it completely FUCKS with Jeewgle for a great deal of time.
