I’ve had mixed results with it but there’s a few extensions that will send fake and generic data to any site that requests it. In some cases the webpage wouldn’t load.

It’s called paying people to watch the systems during off-hours. It’s often way cheaper than setting up firewalls, setting up alerts, maintaining patches, paying a VPN company to manage connections, paying another company to handle authentication, and so on.
