I know that, but decided against.
Prime argument against it is that a major reason I use ublock is security.
Ad links lead sometimes to trojan distributing sites, and I really don’t want to catch a drive-by virus…

That’s not how AdNauseam works. It sends a network request, but ignores the response. This basically “pokes” the ad server, triggering a payout. FWIW, AdNauseam is based on uBlock Origin.

That’s not how viruses work. Your PC can’t just “catch a virus” if you click the wrong link If you really think that’s how that works, then using the internet must be a terrifying experience for you. I feel bad for you
