        As far as I could tell from others I’ve talked to, no it isn’t. And apparently it can also self learn tracking URLs.

      I’d swap ublock origin with Adnausem. It is built on top of UBO and will mess your digital footprint by clicking on the ads it hides for you.

          Plus if it’s clicking on ads for me, does that mean it’s potentially helping to load malware delivered through advertising?

          Think of it this way. Each time an advertiser throws an advert at you and you click on the advert, the advertiser gets charged.
