AdNauseam is a powerful Chrome extension designed to protect your privacy and fight back against pervasive advertising surveillance. By automatically blocking and clicking on ads in the background, it obfuscates your data profile and confuses tracking algorithms, helping to safeguard your browsing habits from intrusive ad networks.

This extension operates silently to disrupt ad surveillance, ensuring your online activity remains private. With AdNauseam installed, you actively challenge the advertising ecosystem's invasive tracking methods, making it an essential tool for privacy-conscious users.

I've been using and Evangelizing for AdNauseum for years. People love uBlock Origin - But AdNauseum is the socially-aware option that poisons the Advertisers' data-harvesting by making it *untrustworthy*. It makes the browsing experience better for everyone by pushing the value of targeted user data toward zero. For YT - just get Premium. Why? Because YT splits Premium Revenue with creators just like AdRev. 55/45. So 55% of your sub ($7-8 worth) goes directly to Creators (call it $22 RPM vs $3 RPM for Ads, so...way better for Creators overall), ...and the other 45% goes to running the Infrastructure. The only person YT Premium is bad for in the deal is the Advertisers. Premium for YT - For everything else, there's AdNauseum.
