Reminds me of this plugin I used to have that intercepted most tracking and information requests to cookies, and instead sent back a cryptocurrency address with instructions that would automatically enable them to get the info they were asking for if they paid a preset minimum amount to the address first...

Seeing as all those trackers and alike are scrapers and automated headless scripts, it shouldn't surprise you that wallet never saw any transactions. 😅 The idea might not have been the best thought through, but the idea was nice and at least it didn't sent out anything else anymore... 😬
