    The trackers can’t tell which are manual clicks and which come from the plugin. That’s the idea. It obfuscates your tracking by random clicks you don’t see. It costs them data and makes tracking you worthless.

      Maybe I misunderstood but it seems the plugin clicks all the buttons… every one… once.

      So if the website notices that it can “unclick” everything exactly once.

      Therefore only the manual clicks will survive because that button was clicked twice: once manually, and once automatically.

        I think there is a setting to how often it clicks. From rare, 10%, to all, 100%. I understand what you’re saying about it now. I didn’t realise the option for all was there. I thought it was more random.
