Tracking Tricker AdNauseam Removed From the Chrome Store
AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating Ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile. - adnauseam.io
"The idea is to mess with advertisers' metrics. If people using ad blockers are peaceful protesters, AdNauseam is trying to riot." - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13327682
On January 1, users of the extension began contacting the AdNauseam team saying that it had been banned from the Chrome store.
