It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

What are they going to do? blacklist me and stop serving me ads?

If you care about your information and privacy, why are you giving them your information for nothing?
You do have a point, but… It’s not for nothing. It’s to hurt the predatory ad industry.
