Someday: any possibility of support for AdNauseam? #798

Closed wolftune closed 9 years ago

wolftune commented 9 years ago

I suspect the way uBlock works, this is not possible, but it would be a someday-maybe ideal to be able to work in conjunction with AdNauseam (which I just learned about and haven't used but support somewhat in principle)

Seems very interesting concept. I think this does fit the uBlock philosophy of web tracking, so I support this for the long run.

gorhill commented 9 years ago

Regardless of how uBlock works, I think this is a terrible idea. The last thing I want is to leave a trace in a log on a remote server I consider to be a nuisance. AdNauseam defeats this purpose.

I think it's perfectly fine to reject this, I just want to be clear: the idea isn't that this is good for you individually. The goal is to poison the ad-network data. On a social level, it's positive. On an individual level, it's better not to run this at all. I think it would be nice to offer it. But I really don't feel strongly.

Open it, at least the source code is available. That's why I'm using it not ABP. So to poison the adnetworks it would be great to let users decide with open source-solutions.
