Be sure to install AdNauseam on your Firefox to really go full "fuck you" to google.
Note that AdNauseam no longer recommends Firefox
Sigh. I believe this is simply because of the removal from Firefox mobile
It's uBlock, but it's fucking with their revenue
Unfortunately, if you have properly set up Firefox, i.e with arkenfox user.js or by using Librewolf, it doesn't work :/ It still blocks adds without issues, but it's not visiting them.
Or if you're running PiHole - same issue. Is there a way how to make PiHole actually go though all those clicks? I guess it would be hard to figure out what's an ad and what's telemetry.
PiHole is doing DNS resolution only, it doesn't have any way to know what the link is, its not sent that data.
I actually think AdNauseam is the cause of Google making WEI.
