Are Bots Hijacking Your Marketing Budget?

I long ago started blocking all ads because they are one of the largest vectors for malware. I don't like being tracked and my data sold without my permission. This is an old argument, but it's widely agreed upon that there is no implicit agreement that I view ads online, even on a site funded in full by such ads. I record my TV shows and FF thru all commercials as well. I already pay to access the WWW, I will not pay with my privacy.

I use Adblock + with no ads allowed, plus Disconnect, plus I ban DOM storage, shunt LSOs to /dev/null, and filter some of my Internet use thru an offsite proxy server. In addition, I disallow HTTP/S referrer, CSS history, ban sites from seeing my font collection, disable media peerconnect, and a number of other things. I am, for all intents and purposes an enemy of most marketing companies.
