Is there a similar tool that will "poison" my personal tracked data? Like, I know I'm going to be tracked and have a profile built on me by nearly everywhere online. Is there a tool that I can use to muddy that profile so it doesn't know if I'm a trans Brazilian pet store owner, a Nigerian bowling alley systems engineer, or a Beverly Hills sanitation worker who moonlights as a practice subject for budding proctologists?

The browser addon "AdNauseum" can help with that, although it's not a complete solution.

That and trackmenot.

It searches random shit in the background.

Yep these are the best tools for that currently.

That looks useful for these wanting to track MS rewards points...

...if you can get them, that is
