much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Ooh, nice! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with Librewolf, which I guess has hardcoded some tracking options - even after I disabled Enhanced Tracking Protections, I'm still at 0 clicked adds even though I tried really hard to visit ad infested sites :D Oh well, I'll see if I can do something about it, because this is a concept I really support.
EDIT: Ok, I was just really bad at finding sites with ads, for some reason :D

Another thing that came to my mind is - I wouldn't mind running a few bots that do this, exploiting the analytics of a company by just running in the background and skewing their statistics. So, if a bot like that exists, I'm all for that. Even if it would mean running selenium all day.
I wonder if this could end up being counterintuitive? A random / BS fingerprint likely looks a lot different than most real fingerprints, so it might end up making you stand out even more.
There is this thing: https://trackthis.link/. It's a bit limited but the principle is kind of similar
Looks interesting! I'll give it a try. Thanks!
