Interesting, was wondering about this. This would also "help" the websites with more ad income right?

if thats true, brb setting up a website and a bot farm
Careful: that then enters the world of ad fraud, which randos like us doing the clicking isn't considered as.
Haha I imagine they need at least unique ip addresses to count. Now I wonder if for clicks to count you need to properly click through and load the target website with the same "browser fingerprint".

Why can't uBlock Origin and this thing work at the same time?
It's a bit redundant to run both at the same time, considering they both practically do the same thing and one is built off of the other.
It's not even practically the same thing, it is exactly the same plugin as uBlock Origin, same UI, blocklists, etc but with added features.
