Interesting. But wouldn't that still decrease my privacy? Advertisers still won't know which ads I'm interested in, but they will know what sites I visit and can still build a profile from that data.

Some people care more about fucking advertisers than privacy, as long as they don't have to suffer through the ads themselves. But yeah, blocking is more private than fake clicking.
