"I have drawn YOU as the soyjack and ME as the chad, therefore you lose the argument"

Are you autistic?

Thanks, I didn't see this, there was a different embedded FAQ that didn't have the specific Q & A below.

But, if anything, it seems to confirm the ad itself is just legitimately clicked from the user's IP address and hidden from the user, and that there is code execution protection, but not that there is any privacy protection? It's still very ambiguous.

How does AdNauseam "click Ads"?

AdNauseam 'clicks' Ads by issuing an HTTP request to the URL to which they lead. In current versions the is done via an XMLHttpRequest (or AJAX request) issued in a background process. This lightweight request signals a 'click' on the server responsible for the Ad, but does so without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. Further it allows AdNauseam to safely receive and discard the resulting response data, rather than executing it in the browser, thus preventing a range of potential security problems (ransomware, rogue Javascript or Flash code, XSS-attacks, etc.) caused by malfunctioning or malicious Ads. Although it is completely safe, AdNauseam's clicking behaviour can be de-activated in the settings panel.

Yeah.

Is that a fucking problem?

Right, but thousands of them, possibly every day? Could perhaps affect your data consumption on your phone e.g. ‍️

lol I know right.

Jesus, you got defensive quick and hard. Sorry I rustled you.

It is when you're being rude for no reason.

lol

furthermore: lmao.

Using autistic as a derogatory slur is rude for no reason.

what a rude thing to say, especially considering I wasn't talking to you.

I'm gonna keep it that way, best of luck baiting someone else champ.

If you care about your information and privacy, why are you giving them your information for nothing?

I'm past caring about giving my IP to a website that I want to use, but what this is doing is handing out your information to every single advertiser that is published on any page you visit. In some cases this plugin would match the definition of "leaking personal data".

You do you though. I won't stop you.

I'm behind SEVEN proxies!

Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads would see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

When was the last time you checked the length of your DHCP lease?

You aren't terribly familiar with how much traffic we generate nowadays... are you? If we were still on 2G and isdn / dsl sure. You'd likely see a slight latency jump. On anything from this last decade+ ? Not a chance.

Every 10,000 miles. Or after you hit 40. Before putting it on?

Shit. I know this one... uh...

Okay? I didn't do that to you. But you were being rude to me for no reason.

Now the name calling. Cool, dude.

I'll concede the data plan dent thing; I hadn't done any math regarding that. Thanks for clarifying that to me and everyone else!

But you did say "none" so I just pointed out the fact that it's not none. It's some. I wasn't wrong to point that out. No matter how much of a stickler you find me for that.

But that's no reason to post images implicitly depicting me to be some kind of fat nerd.

You're a rude person. Autistic or not.

I'm not, am I. I hadn't done any calculations regarding this. It was strictly hypothetical, as you can probably tell from the question mark and ‍️.
