So, I was wondering if there is any way to make ad- and tracking cookies useless. Maybe with a program that adds a lot of bullshit to them like change the time you spent on internet sites, change the ip adress… these sort of things. Just to make them useless for ad companies and other organizations.
Especially in the US, where cookies might be used or will soon be used to identify pregnant women or women who are looking for abortions for example.
That way, all the data brokers would just receiving useless junk that they can't really sell, making things better for a lot of people.
I'm aware that I can avoid some tracking by always making sure to click on the right things whenever a website asks for my preferences, but still, sometimes you just can't avoid it.
I don't know if that's the right subreddit, or if my basic english is even enough to "illustrate" what I mean, but I appreciate all answers. (Even if it's just to correct my grammar)
