Option to manually visit ads #2440

The idea is that the user could then curate themselves the ads they visit.

This can be a potential solution of issues such as:

Google account using AdNauseam being flagged as underage #2439
AdNauseam clicking on Malware? #2438
It would be part of the implementation of Feature Request: add button to 'reclick' all ads in vault

This feature could be implemented by having a button, both on the ad-vault and on the popup-menu to re-visit that ad once again. And would make it possible for users to only visit the ads they choose to do so.

So the proposal is for the user to disable the click/frequency slider, setting auto-click to off, then manually click ads with the button from either the vault or the menu ? And this would allow users to visit (or re-visit) ads, one-by-one, or in bulk, via the vault...

Yes, also with option to bulk-visit them using in the vault.

Certainly possible, though I'm not sure how useful it would be from the menu. A button in the vault would also handle the re-visit feature request, integrated with more powerful filtering. But such bulk clicking would need to be done over time, otherwise sites with many ads are more likely to block. So this would likely require some type of scheduler component, and also some way of making the progress of said scheduler transparent to the user
