I'm not sure it works quite like that, though this add on is new to me and I find myself rather skeptical ...

AdNauseam not only blocks ads, it obfuscates browsing data to resist tracking by the online ad industry. To throw ad networks off your trail AdNauseam βclicksβ blocked and hidden ads, polluting your data profile and injecting noise into the economic system that drives online surveillance.
By blocking the ads in the first place, it conserves a lot of CPU and thus power. Then sending back the response to the host is only a tiny bit of data. However, I do question it's worth. Blocking ads is part of the battle, preventing fingerprinting and blocking trackers is another part. Not sure where this fits in.

@blackhole agree with the poster who posted this comment: https://dev1galaxy.org/profile.php?id=5858
This is a good example of something proprietors like google banning being a sign that its good. Not everything google bans is this way, but probably at least 75% of the time.
The good that this does, is that usually is that you directly block the big data corporations from getting what they desire and the responsibility falls on Google and not said website, usually anyhow...

It's Thursday September 14 and google (alphabet corp, LLC) is in trouble again. I hope they actually make some harsh rulings and make google open up the adtech web search and web advertising monopoly and hierarchical centralized mafia that controls (google Dapps and android / chrome / googAdwords) the web as we know it. as a web developer I'm very enthusiastic about this news, however I'm skeptical if this government will actually do more than a slap on the hand or a fine.

"By Diane Bartz
WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The Justice Department pressed its argument on Thursday that Google sought to strike agreements with mobile carriers to win powerful default positions on smartphones to dominate search in an antitrust trial that could change the future of the internet.
The government wrapped up questioning of Antonio Rangel, who teaches behavioral biology at the California Institute of Technology on Thursday morning. Rangel discussed how consumers were likely to stick with browsers on computers and mobile phones that were pre-installed as the default application.
The government says the Alphabet unit paid $10 billion annually to wireless companies like AT&T, device makers like Apple and browser makers like Mozilla to be the default search engine on devices to fend off rivals and keep its search engine market share near 90%.
John Schmidtlein, a lawyer for Google, during cross-examination of Rangel, pointed out that a significant number of user search queries went to Google even when another search engine was the default.
A major part of Google's defense is that the government is wrong to say that Google broke the law to hold onto its massive market share because its search engine is wildly popular because of its quality..."

"The European Commission has informed Google of its preliminary view that the company breached EU antitrust rules by distorting competition in the advertising technology industry (βadtech'). The Commission takes issue with Google favouring its own online display advertising technology services to the detriment of competing providers of advertising technology services, advertisers and online publishers.
Google is a US multinational technology company. Google's flagship service is its search engine Google Search. Google also operates other popular services, such as the video streaming platform YouTube or the mobile operating system Android. Google's main source of revenue is online advertising: (i) it sells advertising space on its own websites and apps; and (ii) it intermediates between advertisers that want to place their ads online and publishers (i.e. third-party websites and apps) that can supply such space.
Advertisers and publishers rely on the adtech industry's digital tools for the placement of real time ads not linked to a search query, such as banner ads in websites of newspapers (βdisplay ads'). In particular, the adtech industry provides three digital tools: (i) publisher ad servers used by publishers to manage the advertising space on their websites and apps; (ii) ad buying tools used by advertisers to manage their automated advertising campaigns; and (iii) ad exchanges where publishers and advertisers meet in real time, typically via auctions, to buy and sell display adds."
any defense of google aka ALphabet Inc. will be interpreted as nepotism or a form of stockholm syndrome

Saacmatchin, one can only hope someone will pin them to the ground for a long time for their bs.
such as the "crimeflare network" they have...
https://notabug.org/dCF/deCloudflare
#crimeflare is one of the hashtags on that notabug.org page.
Its beyond appropriate that whoever made that notabug page, calls it crimeflare lol.
But yeah, google needs someone to cut their lucrative business by 10x at least. Big corporations hate competition. FACT!
So... yeah.
