I don't like my data being collected, and my voluntary participation in their scheme does not preclude poisoning their dataset. Let them filter the crap out. I wish there was a more adversarial adblocker.

I would like to see an add-on that sends a sick amount of clicks to the 3rd party and costs them a fortune. If there was no ROI, ads would diminish. Content does not need to be free. I pay for email. I pay for other online services I use. I pay to go to the cinema despite the eye-watering robbery at the concession stand (my kids love it).
Or on the less ramped up scale, something that send all ads to /dev/null, letting them think the ad was delivered and viewed, but it goes into the bit bucket. I remember years ago when Flash was a thing. I used to symlink .adobe and .macromedia to /dev/null to avoid the LSOs. Flash worked, but I never had to worry about LSOs not being cleared when the browser was sanitized.

Track this is probably better than what the GP asked for, but you must remember to use it, while fingerprint randomization can be done by default.
