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!

It does if it reports the URL to click home somewhere and users can opt in to pull the list to auto click.

It would DDoS the ad servers. Muwhahahaa

Yes. That’s just what I want. An extension sending all ads served to me to a central location, so my fingerprint can be very easily indexed and stored on a definitely never hacked, leaked, or sold database.

And it would totally never get abused or hit a false positive.
