by Firefox user 14333591, 7 years agoFirst let me say, I LOVE this extension. Any computer I get my hands on, mine or not, gets AdNauseam installed on it. I recommend it to everyone I know, and have the chrome version ready to go at a moment's notice, despite not even using chrome.
My ONLY qualm is not with the philosophy of AdNauseam, which I completely ascribe to, or any of the behavior it normally displays.
However, sometimes the filter lists require updating, but they NEVER get updated. I can wait for an hour and nothing will happen, and there's no indication of how long it will take for it to finish. What's worse is that a page refresh seems to stop the updating of the filter list s altogether, and set me back to where I started. Even changing the process priority to -20 does nothing. The only success I've had with remedying this problem is removing and reinstalling.
I only wish there were more information about this problem other than that it takes a lot of CPU to update the lists.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13248877, 2 months agoUnfortunately this addon is causing constant errors on YouTube at the moment. Causing playback errors about 90% of the time when clicking a video into a new tab. Had to disable for now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Arnald, 2 months agoLove how AdNauseam works. However it would be nice to have the ad vault limit how many ads it saves. Or have it auto delete the vault after a certain amount of time.(Like after 30 days or a week depending on a persons preference)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sloccy, 3 months agoWhile the original purpose of this extension is to obfuscate your advertising profile, I use it with the hope that it generates more revenue towards some of my favorite sites! I dial the click frequency back to the minimum of 10% in the hope that the click fraud wont be detected and those sites make more money from me than otherwise. I can't afford to subscribe or donate to every site, but I can afford to do this. All while not having to pollute my view with the ads to begin with. Thanks for making this and keep up the great work!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Oddbrother, 4 months agoMorally, it serves its intended purpose. When doing your normal routine on the Internet, it does its job well to keep you untracked. And when private browsing, it really steps up its game to be sure you're under the radar.
