I would consider this, but I'm not willing to let the advertisers even load their scripts onto my computer.

FYI - Google has now officially banned this from their Chrome extension store.

You can still install it for now, but you have to manually do it per their github site:

Install AdNauseam on Chromium based browsers

Now I'm really tempted to try it!

yeah if it wasn't for the fact it's been around for 12 years...i remember reading somewhere about this extension and the lengths that google/meta et all go to to make sure that clicks are legit and not accidental...

the tldr version of the post was yes it works, no it won't make a lick of difference unless it has a very very large user base (like ublockrigin has atm)

I looked it over when this thread popped up, though I was vaguely aware of it previously. I'm up for a good trolling of companies as the next guy, but I have a system in place with ublock and noscript. It's a highly manual and tedious system, but it works, and I'm reluctant to try something else. Also, like Ken said, once you let the horse though the gate, the battle's almost lost.
