Lawdwaz Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Firefox & AdBlock Plus and you'll see no ads to cause you grief. Again, it is only going to make your life easier but why would you travel that road? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Assuming some of the history is tied to your user account as well. I get the same ads on separate, new, pcs after I log in. Cabelas, cruise ships, etc. And I've searched them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 So how'd it go with Jane?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeerDuck Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm getting the same ads, and I'm using my kids iPad. I don't think he's looking for Asian and Russian mail order brides??? I also noticed that those don't really pop up during the morning and daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeerDuck Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If he is, at least he's got the right idea for a 7 yr old.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm not sure about the exact connection between browser history and the ads that are displayed. I have an almost constant ad off to the side about "edge" products which are vehicle parts. I haven't ever researched anything that relates to vehicle products either directly or implied. So I have no idea where that would come from if they are basing it on browsing history. Also there is another ad about American express platinum card. Again there is no history on this computer that has anything to do with credit cards, American Express or any other kind. So I am a bit skeptical of the statements about any of this being based on sites visited or even a rough pattern of site history. Its not only based on your browser history, there are some things that come up regardless. It all depends on how much the advertiser spends. A good chunk, however, is based on browser history. Facebook ads are like that too. Take a peek into Google Advertisements and youll see what its all about. Its pretty slick actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
