AdNauseam
Blocking ads and fighting back against advertising surveillance.
What is AdNauseam?
AdNauseam is a Firefox add-on designed to combat online advertising surveillance. Not only does it block ads, but it also 'clicks' on the blocked and hidden ones. This process obfuscates your browsing data, effectively polluting your data profile and injecting noise into the economic system that drives online surveillance. It also features an interactive AdVault for visualizing and exploring captured ads. To ensure functionality, it may need permissions in private browsing mode.
