Ok, so I may or may not have actually used this extension in the past (I may or may not be really vague as I don't really understand if this is legally fraud).

Ok, so I may or may not have actually used this extension in the past (I may or may not be really vague as I don't really understand if this is legally fraud). The extension may or may not suck really bad. It may or may not lock up your browser when it clicks all the ads on a site. It may or may not 'work' at all in conjunction with TrackMeNot (a similar extension that flak-cannons trackers) and BSOD your laptop all the frickin time. I may or may not have uninstalled the extension within a hour due to how bad things got.
I think it's a fun concept, but the implementation of it may or may not be something that you want to fight with for less than a day before swearing it off. It's possibly so bad that I think it may have been written in order to turn people off from this 'attack' towards trackers as it may or may not remind one of the repulsion that rotten milk has upon first sniff.
- davidgerard 10y agoDon't worry! I've been using it all today and so far it's had none of the bad effects you describe whatsoever. I plan to continue using it. It does actually let through ads uBO doesn't (though it embeds uBO and uses the same filter lists), but nothing I can't live with. Doing my bit to make Internet advertisers' lives that little bit more miserable is pretty much an ethical obligation at this stage. The FAQ does say only to run it if you know what you're doing. But I think anyone who reads HN will have no problems whatsoever in running this extension. If they do, the code's right there.
