Install Firefox with https://adnauseam.io/, it’s basically ublock origin but internally clicks on every add destroying your adds profile and damaging economics of adds and conversion.

Doesn’t this just track the shit out of you? Does it also click malicious ad banners?

Step 2: install Privacy Badger
And Facebook Container is another useful one.

Ublock already does the job of privacy badger… Well as far as I know…
Replying to @danielfm123@lemmy.zip
They overlap; Ublock does it through lists, and badger does it through heuristics.
Running just badger, it can miss things, if you can use both, you get all the lists and heuristics, but they’re probalby not both necessary

It’s best not to use multiple ad blockers at the same time. They’ll conflict with each other and you’ll be worse off. uBO alone is probably enough.

Conflict with each other how?
Replying to @rumba@lemmy.zip
I’ve used them both for years and never noticed any sort of conflict, but I’ve heard that potential conflict mentioned several times with no clarification
Replying to @Taldan@lemmy.world
To be fair, I’ve heard it from somewhere else too. I’ll see if I can find a source.
