AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking (adnauseam.io)

It garbles advertisers' data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can't work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads would see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

    I don't know about NZ (or wherever you are), but IP addresses for residential access in the US don't really change all that much. It's... concerning.

    I thought the average was 7 days for a residential IP and when I searched it up it seemed like the average was 3 days. However I took note of my ip and its still the same as it was 6 days ago. Im now interested to see how long these ips are being leased out for.

    If it is longer than a week then I am fully wrong and spamming out your ip is a huge privacy risk.
