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!

I always liked using this on the premise of privacy-through-obfuscation. If the powers that be must get information from me, then i'd prefer to give them garbage information.

Exactly. You can't completely avoid being tracked but you can ensure that your profile is just noise without any value to advertisers

I always like this on the premise of charging advertisers money while giving them no audience in return.
