All clicks are performed in an isolated sandbox separate from the user area (basically imagine the click register signal going out, but nothing more).

What if you have a multi layered ad blocking setup where you’re using ublock origin and pi.hole and a VPN with blocking?

[-] Truscape 20 points 2 weeks ago

The multiple layers of redundancy would likely clash with Adnauseum, yeah. Although that probably is just wasted compute - you may only need one or two of those solutions to have effective adblocking (uBlock for supported browsers, pi.hole for devices unable to have uBlock installed) rather than all 3 at once.

Well I’m not gonna bother turning off any of the layers when I’m out and about. Like, my laptop still needs ublock when I’m not at home. And the vpn is just for certain use cases.

If you set up tailscale, you can connect your laptop to your home network and have the pi-hole everywhere.

I have tailscale set up. I’m not gonna have my wife be using tailscale. And I’m also not going to be using tailscale all the time. I even have an exit node on my server.
