>It would not only be impossible to prove

I mean if you had an extension that did it I don't see why it would be impossible. And with an extension for that purpose it shows intent.

Back up a bit. AdNauseam and similar tools are not illegal. The only real avenues would be violation of ToS, fraud, computer abuse or similar. For an individual running this on their home PC for their own use it would be a real challenge for anyone of any size to prove harm.

Now like I already said, if you are running a botnet clicking on your ads that is entirely a different story.

So tell us what does having the extension installed prove?
