Thanks for the tip!

For a while I've been thinking of setting a VM that navigates the interwebs clicking on random links to generate tracking noise. I need to find out how to do that :D.

I love the idea after reading the site, this line, however, scares me about the addon:

    Access your data for all websites

uBlock Origin has the same requirement. Basically, to block ads on any website, it needs access to the data on any website. The wording of the permission is a bit weird maybe.

It kinda has to do that to be able to click on the ads.

It needs access to all websites' data as it needs to see & interact with the tabs to be able to detect & simulate clicks on those ads.
