It's an old addon. But the new ublock combo seems to let it work with far more browsers than before.

StJohn:

This is interesting, and I really like the idea of muddying the waters for ad companies — but doesn't it add to your network traffic? One of the reasons I love ad-blockers is that they dramatically reduce the size of the website and cause it to load a lot faster. By generating clicks to all the blocked ads, it seems like that might generate a whole bunch more traffic and slow down your connection. This would be especially noticeable on mobile devices.

I suppose it depends which one you want more, a faster connection, or sticking it to the man.
