It would be nice to have the option to not just block your data from being accessible to a 3rd party but also feedback junk data into the system. Pollute the data stream until it's no longer useful to the powers that be while still retaining functionality for the user.

One can dream.

Yeah it's called data poisoning and you can do it with extensions like AdNauseum and TrackMeNot but I'm very confused why this strategy is not more popular.

Does an extension exist to do this?

If it does I'm not aware of it but I'd love to learn of one.
