A browser addon that utterly floods advertisers and trackers with dummy data. A single person using it is easy to single out. A thousand start to eat into the profits. 100k should make them go offline (DDoS'ed) with an interesting frequency.

There is one that clicks every ad it sees. Adnauseam.

Something like that, but that manages to click at least 50 times would be awesome
