Fuck Google, Install AdNauseam

[___-]

What is AdNauseam?
AdNauseam is an adblocking addon that attacks the income source of advertising companies that violate your privacy, particularly Google.
Why should I care?
Google has been involved in creating a monopoly over how online content is distributed, and censoring content it deems politically incorrect. I'm sure you all remember the manifesto incident and them firing the think tank that said monopolies like them are dangerous for democracy.

Even if you aren't concerned about Google, their influence makes them able to force third party websites off the internet i.e. the Daily Stormer.
How does it work?
It clicks ads so you don't have to. You don't view these ads and Google has to refund these ads to advertisers, eroding the trust companies have in their platform for promoting their product. Google has already shown they're scared shitless by removing it from the Chrome addon store.
How do I get it?
You can install it here:
https://adnauseam.io/
Other things you can do:
• Install Waterfox, it's like Firefox without the telementary cancer and will support the XUL framework long after Mozilla does so you can avoid webextension aids.
• Promote AdNauseam and alternative content sharing websites like Mastodon and Vidme.
• Use an alternative search engine such as ixquick or startpage.
• Limit your usage of services from companies such as Facebook or Google.
• Give Linux a try, it's gotten a lot more easy to use with a lot of alternatives for popular software minus Microsoft's telementary.

YES IT'S BASED ON UBLOCK ORIGIN

None. There is no reason for a corporation to promote AdNauseam. It literally ruins malicious advertiser's revenue. I just fucking hate Google.

So you're doing this out of spite?

How does this compare to uBlock Origin? I'll gladly install it, but uBlock's pretty hard to beat when it comes to ad blockers.

Doesn't Ublock Origin just block the ads normally?

It does, but it's also a lot faster than other blockers, from what I've seen. I used to use Ghostery, but now I don't. uBlock is a lot lighter, and I'm curious how AdNauseum compares.

Apparently (haven't used adnauseum) it's built right on top of it

Grabbing it now.

So far I'm finding that it makes my browser (Vivaldi, chromium based) a bit laggy. It isn't effecting page loading too much, but it seems to be producing a noticeable stutter for things like scrolling and tab movement.

I'm also wondering if it conflicts with scriptsafe. I've given google ads permissions using scriptsafe, and they are still seemingly blocked, but adnauseam isn't clearly registering how it is handling the ads, so I'm unsure.

I really like the idea though, so I'm going to stick with it for a while, and see how it goes.

Script blockers in general can fuck with it.

What exactly does this have over uBlock? If it's based on it then what else does it do?

It blocks ads from view, but not from being downloaded. All the ads on the page get "clicked" (a data request is sent, but the response is immediately discarded), meaning tracking has been made useless by bot requests. The systems have no way of knowing which clicks are legitimate and which ones are just being generated by this addon. It's the same principle as TrackMeNot, which floods your search history with searches you didn't make so as to obfuscate your real ones.

Aside from that, it works exactly like uBlock. If you don't like the clicking mechanism, you can turn it off at setup.

I'm too much of a battered housewife to stop using Windows and Chrome. Firefox is a bit slow for me.

Get Vivaldi. It's based off of Chrome, faster than Chrome, doesn't have any tracking bullshit, is far more customizable, and works with all your addons. It's fantastic and I will shill that shit until it turns to shit. We were talking about it here.

Seconding Vivaldi: it really is excellent.
