Should I use the AdNauseam extension besides uBlockOrigin to improve privacy?
There is a very popular uBlockOrigin extension that is trusted by a large number of users. It blocks ads and trackers. However, there is a similar AdNauseam extension, which, as far as I understand, is built on the basis of the first one, however, it has one peculiarity: there is a background click on ads function in order to change the user's digital fingerprint. So the question is: if I want to hide or at least change my digital fingerprint, in addition to uBlock Origin, should I also use AdNauseam (but with ad and tracker blocking turned off, as uBO is already doing this, only with the click-to-ad function enabled)? I read it on Reddit (a similar question was already asked there) and they reacted negatively to this idea, but there the question was precisely the use of 2 extensions at the same time without the reservation that AdNauseam would disable functions,
PS I had a thought that if you use them at the same time, then before AdNauseam performs a background click on an ad, uBO will already block this ad and AdNauseam will not have time to work. What do you think about this.

To improve the belief in imaginary privacy - it is quite possible to use.
For real privacy, you need an individual who has his own history, his own Internet, his own computer, his own browser, his browser extensions, and his own habits, including his love or dislike for advertising. This separate personality should have nothing to do with your real one. Obviously, this cannot be achieved 100%. But if they have a common browser, then you can simply forget about privacy.
Most adblocks, and even more so advanced ones like uBO, are self-sufficient. Additional tools supposedly for privacy, which in fact duplicate the functions of adblocks, are paranoia and placebo (which, at the same time, is not a placebo at all in terms of eating PC resources).
I doubt very much that anyone would take it into their heads to painstakingly follow you out of the billions of daily Internet users. Objectively. Judge for yourself with a cool head, and do not listen to any Snowdens. Some data, yes, gets tracked, but they are anonymized or harmless if you know how to use at least private mode and don’t google literally everything.
In general, for privacy, a VPN is better then, well-chosen for your own needs. ♂️♂️
