Why can't uBlock Origin and this thing work at the same time?
because it's a modified uBlock Origin, so it's like running two ad blocking plugins at once, which isn't recommended. and if uBO blocks an ad first, AdNauseam won't be able to detect it and click on it.
anyway, I remember reading a long time ago how that approach isn't going to harm ad companies anyway, because [technical reasons that I don't remember at all].
I use it because otherwise I'd use ublock anyways. So it either does it thing and if not, it's the same result as ublock.
It's a bit redundant to run both at the same time, considering they both practically do the same thing and one is built off of the other.
It's not even practically the same thing, it is exactly the same plugin as uBlock Origin, same UI, blocklists, etc but with added features.
