Fuck Google, Install AdNauseam

So is this a substitute for ublock origin or something that should be used as well? What about this and ghostery? Also a little offtopic but what browser do you use for android devices?
 
how does this compare to AdBlock Plus? better or worse?
uBlock itself is far lighter and far better than ABP; paired with the click function, you're helping destroy Google and it'll probably run a bit better. You can just disable ABP while you try it, can't hurt.

So it's just an extension that spams adclicks? So what you're saying is if I really wanted to, I could create a Youtube channel, flood it with inane hour long videos and set up a computer to repeatedly sit through each of these videos and hollow out their ad revenue straight into my wallet?

Honestly though, doing this will just ultimately make the internet so much fucking worse. On the one hand, yes, you do slay the dragon and Google goes down in a ball of flames, leaving nothing left except for shitty second rate search engines all of which have even fewer scruples in exposing you to malware, ushering in a new era of the internet which depends entirely on donations and premium memberships because brands will never touch it again. On the other, the dragon adapts like a disease to antibiotics abuse and resorts to even more unscrupulous measures to make money from you, so not only did it not work but you gave it immunity.

What do you ultimately hope to achieve with this, what's the end game?

I just want the internet to die horribly.

Ads aren't the only way people make money on the internet, and I really don't care if the ones who were looking for an easy payday pack up and leave. Hobbyists will stick around, shops will stick around, people who only use the internet for communication will stick around. Ads have been nothing but trouble, including the people they tend to attract. If we all go the route of donations and shit like Discord Nitro, I don't really care.

This is like D.A.D. light.

If you say so. I don't have an opinion on that, really. I'm not really bound to any specific service, I've made my plans if any of it in particular dies. I'm not saying I won't be affected at all, nor am I saying that my utopia free of stupid people on the internet would even be a good thing. We want what we really shouldn't have.

If you think that people won't step up to buy off Google's assets and products when it goes bankrupt, though, that's just as :optimistic:. There's nothing Google offers that's especially exclusive; the only thing you could list was the search engine. I'm fairly certain Google's demise wouldn't be the end of Google's services.
