This is a post from my Gab, Hopefully it might be useful to some people here. It's quite old now - I have cost them a considerable amount more than this now.
Last week I discovered an awesome combination of browser extensions, that's costing the big tech advertising networks a bunch of money.... I have a tab constantly running in the background making auto searches - this is the Chaff Extension - in combination with AdNauseum blocker which indiscriminately clicks every ad it finds in the background. This gives advertisers and trackers an absolute shit-ton of false information. It renders tracking much more difficult via obfuscation, and costs them money when they can't sell their poor data.
---from their websites ---
AdNauseam is a free browser extension designed to obfuscate browsing data and protect users from tracking by advertising networks. At the same time, AdNauseam serves as a means of amplifying users' discontent with advertising networks that disregard privacy and facilitate bulk surveillance agendas.

Chaff Extension
Generate random web browsing traffic to obfuscate actual browsing behaviour to avoid profiling through 3rd party observation.
Autonomously browse the Internet in the Chrome Browser using user provided URLs, user Bookmarks, and Random Search Engine queries as a basis to generate random web browsing traffic in order to obfuscate actual web browsing interests from third party monitoring.

So with these constantly running, in about 7 days time I have apparently caused about $1400 of damage.
Chrome based Browsers---
I'm running Ungoogled Chromium. On Chrome based browsers you have to install AdNauseam manually, because they've banned it from the store (tells you everything you need to know). instructions --- https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/Install-AdNauseam-on-Chrome-Without-Google's-Permission
and I also had to download an extension to get the chrome webstore running, so you can install Chaff. instructions here --- https://avoidthehack.com/manually-install-extensions-ungoogled-chromium
Firefox based browsers
If you're on a Firefox based browser its easy --- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adnauseam/
Edit: There is also the extension TrackMeNot which runs on both FireFox and Chrome based browsers
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trackmenot/
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trackmenot/cgllkjmdafllcidaehjejjhpfkmanmka
Go into the TrackMeNot options after you have installed it, and turn on "Use tab to search" - run both this and chaff at the same time for double the ads!
