You get tracked based on how you interact. This obfuscates that beyond just "I block all of them".

It still only clicks ads of the webpages you visit, which again is a pretty good tracking pattern. I prefer to be tracked as "blocks all of them" than "clicks all the ads of these webpages, which are about XYZ, so they must have interests in XZY, which is actually true since I did visit those websites".
