TrackMeNot "hides users' actual search trails in a cloud of 'ghost' queries, significantly increasing the difficulty of aggregating such data into accurate or identifying user profiles." So, instead of trying to block ads and risk creating a unique blocking profile that can be fingerprinted by surveillance software, TMN hides your searches among randomly generated searches of its own. Also works with @[AdNauseam](https://alternativeto.net/software/adnauseam/), which hides user profiles on actual, real-user searches by clicking all or most ads on a page, according to the [FAQ](https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/FAQ#can-i-combine-adnauseam-and-trackmenot) on Github. Using this combo seems to be faster than ublock origin - or at least feels that way. _[Edited by jasonbrown1965, October 16]_
