Anecdotal, but I've been using Fauxx for a month or two and have noticed that ads I see (those few that manage to get through my blockers) are more generic, don't apply to my demographic, or are even in a language I don't speak.
I do practice basic data privacy, but I think that data poisoning also has a positive impact in obscuring your digital footprint. There will always be data from when I was less privacy-minded, so I feel it'll be more effective to both create a vacuum and fill that void with junk data.
Very interesting app, thanks for sharing!
I'm wondering if there is something similar for a pi hole so I could poison the data from my entire home.
Looks like there is Fauxx-Desktop that you could probably run on your pi-hole machine.
