Yes, it's fucking working Sup Forumsents! Google is issuing refunds to advertisers because of fake traffic and fake clicks.
>Google Issuing Refunds to Advertisers Over Fake Traffic, Plans New Safeguard >Some advertisers question level of refunds, want more details about fraudulent traffic
>In the past few weeks, Google has informed hundreds of marketers and ad agency partners about the issue with invalid traffic, known in the industry as “ad fraud.” The ads were bought using the company’s DoubleClick Bid Manager over the course of a few months this year, primarily in the second quarter.
If you haven't already, install AdNauseam. It's a fork of uBlock Origin and it does everything that uBO does PLUS it sends fake clicks to advertisers and trackers and it confuses them and it fucks the people who pay for ads. The net effect is that advertising is becoming less and less profitable and people who pay for this shit are losing fate in the system.
I told you about those fake clicks. Google's revenue relies on the trust of advertisers. Break the trust with masses of fake data and google's networth plummets.
Luke Hughes
>I told you about those fake clicks. Google's revenue relies on the trust of advertisers. Break the trust with masses of fake data and google's networth plummets. Fully agreed. Destroy the trust and you've destroyed evil adtech.
Also, can we have some de-googling options for email, mobile apps etc?
Hunter Miller
Installed I thought this was never going to work but if they are making public articles on it then it must be working
Justin Sanchez
Is there a single piece of evidence connecting adnauseam with this?
Dominic Peterson
I can't really see a difference compared to Ublock other than false hopes and dreams. If it comes down to it, Google has money to spare build a mechanism to detect AdNauseam and refuse the clicks made by it.
Jason Foster
Protonmail is good for those who don't want to use gmail.
Connor Flores
>Protonmail Someone said it was compromised. True?
Oliver Collins
This is why I hate this place. All it takes is a single retard repeating shit over and over again and other idiots will believe it. No, Protonmail is not "compromised." A moron was selling drugs on Reddit and posted his Protonmail address. People reported him and Protonmail suspended his account.
Josiah Morris
Of course not, its just a Sup Forums circlejerk Pavlov effect
No but wtf you're doing with your mail that needs 100% fed proofing?
Easton Howard
gotta degoogle my email first before I try this lol, I can see them banning accounts for this
Carson Gray
I installed a custom ROM in my phone and left google apps uninstalled, its pretty easy to live without Google. Do a backup and try it
Jacob Carter
Weren't they massively DDOS'd when they started and then some company from israel contacted and offered them protection and can now potentially intercept all traffic?
John Martin
Protonmail is hosted in Switzerland. Switzerland and US (NSA) have signed data sharing agreements. Anything hosted in Switzerland cannot be trusted. Anything hosted in any of the US protectorate countries cannot be trusted.
Dominic Adams
I've been using AdNauseam for less than two weeks (basically since I first heard about it on Sup Forums) and I've racked up a nice bill for them. Check this shit out. This is gonna make them bankrupt! Install this shit already!
Lincoln Stewart
Not directly, but:
>fake traffic pisses off advertisers >google is issuing refunds for fake traffic >this means fake traffic is a problem for google >AdNauseam creates fake traffic >hence AdNauseam creates problems for google
Connor Gutierrez
>Plans New Safeguard i hope the adnauseam devs are plotting their next release in anticipation of google making the current version useless
Eli Fisher
Have fun hosting your mail in Uganda.
Nolan Phillips
if you use a personal encryption key you are the only person who can see your emails. if you skipped that step then protonmail and any of their affiliates can also see your inbox.
Austin Garcia
>Uganda Pretty sure Uganda's compromised.
Dominic Peterson
>It's a fork of uBlock Origin and it does everything that uBO does PLUS it sends fake clicks to advertisers and trackers You say it's the same thing, but if it's sending clicks then surely it's loading/connecting to all of those fucking ads instead of blocking the connections entirely like uBlock normally does? Plus even if it may confuse them, it still allows them to collect your fingerprint data.
Nathan Rivera
This is why we can't have nice things.
Logan Stewart
>mfw internet was subsidized by retards who never installed adblock >now everyone has adblock >some are even taking it a step further >ads are no longer profitable so companies need to shill on online forums to make money >literally cannot trust anything anymore because there's a 85% chance an indian got paid $0.10 to write the post
Robert James
It's a matter of time til they sue the creator or some random user to scare the shit out of everyone. It's not legal to make a company lose profit like this. Keep it safe, just use ublock origin.
Carson Moore
Nope. Their shills will claim credit though even though for all we know it could be directly related to some guy using indian web sweat shops to falsely click on shit.
Hudson Evans
>or some random user >tfw got sued for clicking a link thats some new level of freedom
Parker Cooper
> Not making the internet great again
Joseph Powell
>It's not legal to make a company lose profit like this. How so?
Josiah Kelly
Pfff leddit is the worst case you'll see of that, companies literally buy whole subreddits related to their business field and shill their garbage and i'm not even talking about the ones carrying their name. And if the subreddit's mods don't wanna sell out reddit management will just find a way to push them aside. Same shit is happening here already, Sup Forums and Sup Forums are filled with shills, not to mention Sup Forums and all those snake salesmen like alex jones shilling there.
Parker Myers
i tried using this a few months ago before it became in vogue with the alt alt alt right crowd but i don't view enough vapid clickbait websites where it becomes worthwhile guess they found out how to make it work, good on you Sup Forums, i guess
James Foster
it's been that way for years on all boards what was the focus of discussion (outside of Sup Forums largely)? Products and services.
Connor Butler
Yeah but it wasn't that visible, now Netflix/Amazon shills don't even try to pretend on Sup Forums. And you even got chinks shilling their garbage on a fucking thread specialized for it right here on Sup Forums.
Jayden Martinez
Excellent job guys, we knew this would work and this is proof.
Angel Lewis
How is it being less obvious a good thing? I don't want to be slyly advertised some product. I come here to discuss shit, but I'm not blind to all the advertising that has been going on for years now. It being obvious now just means I can avoid threads faster.
Dylan Long
>Google has money to spare build a mechanism to detect AdNauseam and refuse the clicks made by it. Could you explain how?
Isaiah Watson
whats your click frequency set at? if its high enough google can simply start ignoring your searches.
Brayden Ward
the sneaky shills are still there, you're just avoiding the low quality ones.
Robert Butler
>How is it being less obvious a good thing? If it's more obvious it means the amount of shills is also higher cause it's become normalized, so what does it matter if you can identify them if you're just talking to shills and their brainwashed minions the whole time.
Justin Wilson
>ungoogled chromium how the fuck do I even install this shit?
this is the only thing I can even fucking find and it's nothing.
each link just leads to more links. Is this more command line bullshit? Why can't they just have an INSTALLER
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LINUX IS SHIT
WHICH KEK WILL DEFEND THIS?
Aaron Johnson
This I had it installed for maybe a day and it was so painfully slow compared to normal ublock. It still loads all the ads. I applaud you if you use it, but I can't stand loading all that garbage
Obviously no instructions for installing this faggot shit.
Justin Martin
oh hey tget this,. you have to PREP your system for teh BULL
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
why cant they make a FILE THAT FUCKING DOES THIS STUPID SHIT WHEN YOU CLICK IT. THEN IT AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLS?
Linux is for pencil dick little fuckers who want to feel like hackers because they install shit.
Grayson Carter
If they refund clicks, that means they can differentiate between clicks created by this addon and actual clicks.
Google is just going to ignore clicks from people who click everything, especially if they click everything instantly.
Or am I wrong? It seems to me like this extension is worthless now.
William Parker
Then open Synaptic.
You realise your phone uses a package manager, right? Windows is unique in having the bonkers system of downloading binaries and semi-permanently attaching them to your system while forcing the creators to roll their own update and uninstall programs.
Even Microsoft has finally seen the light and added their own package manager, except they call it an app store to be cool.
FWIW, you actually can download .debs. It's just that nobody would ever choose to do so because it's such an inferior method.
Henry Morgan
they have your entire browsing history back to 1997 and they know that for the last 20 years you haven't clicked on one single ad. then SUDDENLY you start clicking on all of them
geeee I wonder how
Matthew Wright
so where is this fucking app store for ungoogled chromium? what the fuck.
Cameron Jackson
The first line of my post already answered that and I'm not going to hold your hand beyond that.
Joseph Hughes
thanks for your help. apparently the default one just doesn't list ungoogled chromium for some reason.
man what a clusterfuck. this has to change for sure.
Charles Hernandez
>Google is just going to ignore clicks from people who click everything, especially if they click everything instantly. If this is how the extension works then it would not have worked even 10 years ago. Google checked for this stuff back then already to dissuade ad fraud.
A reminder to everyone in this thread: if you have an AdSense account and do this they might close your AdSense account. Once you lose an AdSense account you will never have another one.
Jose Edwards
suppose you start from a clean freshly made account. how would they be able to tell?
Gavin Thomas

>Pretty sure Uganda's compromised. One of my late uncles used to be a prince there, his associates contacted me recently and are very nice people, they're so trustworthy that instead of taking his ammased fortune themselves they took the time to find and inform me that it's mine. If this is possible I think Uganda is safe for email.
Dominic Evans
Does it work on mobile?
Eli Sanders
How do you get to this page? The chrome:// URL would be best.
t. debugging
Colton Myers
I don't understand how this works. Do they not make money from clicks on the ads regardless of origin?
Eli Peterson
Take into account they're issuing refunds now so even Google isn't making a profit anymore but
Reposting from Not to mention it burns their clicks, if every ignored ad is a 0 and every clicked ad is a -1 then you'd want to click all the ads because the company is still paying for them but not getting any sales, this means in the short term google profits but the company buying the ad space loses their money, if you do this enough they'll check the statistics >80% of people click this ad but only 2% buy anything, this is not worth paying for It's a long con.
Nolan Walker
why don't you just install Pale Moon newfag. It has an installer
Gabriel Morales
So they'll share data which is gibberish because it's encrypted and they have no way of decrypting it.
Wow, much concern.
Jayden Miller

James White
Fine, I'll install it.

>>$3147.0/$1992.0 $1.5798192771084338 is that really how much advertisers pay per click? jesus, thats horribly expensive
Noah Smith
>Sell ad space to advertisers >charge per click >make firefox addon that automatically clicks ads >make image macro that encourages users to fight google by giving them fraudulent ad revenue this literally just pays google. You really think they will ever refund 100% of the fraudulent clicks? No fuggin way im installing this
Cooper Brown
I visited their website. Their aim is to protect you from advertisers by obfuscating their tracking data. security by obfuscation is literally never recommended. Also, this just gives google a steady stream of fraudulent revenue at the hands of advertisers. Hate to say it, because its a tough decision, but I would rather money go to advertisers instead google >protip: Use umatrix and block all ads/3rd party sites completely and there is no moral delima of "should google get money to screw advertisers or should advertisers be left alone to screw google"
Juan Perry
>Internet users get angry at ads >begin blocking ads >addons such as umatrix and ublock begin to rapidly proliferate Oy vey! Antisemitism! Were losing ad revenue >Create addon that 'blocks' ads from reaching users but also rapidly clicks them >market it as 'fighting advertising' >market it as 'fighting advertisers' >The user is no better off than using umatrix or ublock origin >The only clear winners are the people selling the advertising space (Google, amazon, etc etc..) who receive enough fraudulent advertising money to make up for the money they lose form adblocking, and then some. Yes Goy, Download Adnauseum! Browse to your hearts content! it will 'protect' you from advertisers and those who support them!
Noah Young

Aiden Walker
Adblockers don't cost Google any money. They've already sold the space.
Nicholas Russell
>Adblockers don't cost Google any money then why did google just refund some money to advertisers because of fradulent clicks if they dont charge advertisers per click?
John Jackson
I don't know. I don't see why Google had to give back any money at all.
Luke Barnes
maybe because they charge advertisers per click and people have started using software like this shit that repeatedly clicks ads without anyone actually viewing them.
Is there a version compatible with Firefox Nightly?
Elijah Ross
why do you want to give google ad revenue?
Jackson Martin
...
Xavier Parker
You're an absolute retard
Carson White
>he enjoys giving google much free ad revenue
Jaxson Adams
I think it pings the link the ad directs the user to but the actual ad isn't loaded so the end user isn't subjected to ads or malware or other unpleasantness in the process.
Hunter Thomas
Wow, fantastic work you autistic morons
Tampering with a product or service for nefarious purposes is by and far legal grounds for a real ass-fucking law.
Mason Nelson
I just installed it on Yandex Browser.
Elijah Cooper
lol idiot, that's the point. Now Advertisers stop trusting Google and will invest less in Google ads and more in other companies' ads. Aka Google will lose customers forever
