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!

This would still make a connection to the ad servers that can then track me though.

I guess with a hardened browser and a VPN it would be alright.
