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!

    No, he means that’s literally not how IP addresses work. It’s not about “nothing being random.”

    You don’t just “pick an IP address” from a list lmao and send it as though it’s not your actual IP. You would need to literally connect to a proxy and send the request through that proxy in order for ads to see an IP different than you own.

    My god, are you people trolls or just the next generation taking hold? The dumbing down of Western society is in full force.
