  1. A browser extension that clicks on every blocked ad to fight advertising surveillance.
    I've used https://adnauseam.io/ for years. It's great. First, it hides (most of) the ads making the internet more tolerable. Then it clicks on ALL of them making your profile worthless. The last time I pulled up my Google profile, it said I was a 18-99yo, both male and female, and was interested in EVERY topic they listed. It works in both Brave and Chrome but isn't available in the Chrome Extension Store for some reason.. ;).
