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!

    Throw in a dash of track-me-not (https://www.trackmenot.io/) and maybe they’ll start ignoring your search queries too! Worst case my actual searches are so buried in the bs deciding what to market would be easier from my screen-name.

      Fascinating, thanks for sharing! What is the best, current Firefox fork of this one, if you know?

          I was reacting to its GitHub:

          This project is NOT currently being maintained. Code is made available for developers to fork. This is the FireFox version of the project, for Chrome see https://github.com/vtoubiana/TrackMeNot-Chrome.

          So I’m wondering which active fork is best to go off of for Firefox. I could’ve been clearer; my bad.
