Opposition to online surveillance always makes me wonder why nobody has attempted to create adversarial browsers or plug-ins.

I'm not aware of how difficult it would be technically, but wouldn't a good solution to be simply throw troves of noise at Google Amazon and Facebook to drown out the actual signal?

For example, how valuable would online advertising even be if 20% of all users were continously clicking through the ads and opening the landing pages in a virtual browser that the user never even sees?

What about opening every search result at random and simply closing the page again after a few seconds?

Is there some reason this kind of idea is infeasible or illegal?
