Yep. The developer recommends to run it in stead of rather than alongside uBlock Origin, though, which is a dealbreaker for me ๐Ÿคท

That's because it's built on top of uBlock. If you click on the extension it even has the uBlock logo. It's literally just uBlock except it clicks on ads in the background. It even tells you how much projected money you cost them for clicking their shitty ads. And the websites gets paid. Only the advertisers get shafted.

Honestly I'm astonished it's not more popular.

So you're saying that it does literally everything uBlock does AND fucks over advertisers?

If there's an option to shaft specific sites run by people you dislike too, I'm in! ๐Ÿ˜„

I don't think so, it can only click the ads you're served, which you don't control.

Guess I'm just gonna have to switch it off and uBlock on for those sites, then ๐Ÿ˜

Oh I thought you meant the ads. No, you can definitely whitelist your favorite sites.

Yes but Google banned them from the extension store so if you're using Chromium you need to sideload it.
