Adverts are usually based on your browsing history, so is there something you need to tell us?

 

[MikeG.]

You've made the mental leap from an advertisement appearing on your lap top to the country needing National Service. Righto......

 

[novocaine]

Completly agree,we need national service.
Anyone between the age of 60 and 80 should be signed up. Seems they want it the most so it's only fair right?

Adverts are usually based on your browsing history

Only if you allow them to be.
If you don't, you get what Frank described.

Ad Blocker.............?

There was the MP who complained in the Commons about the number of **** adverts that displayed on his official PC. Someone pointed out that the adverts were driven by his search history!

Ad Blocker.............?

Not really in the spirit of the forum, ads are what pays for the hosting and bandwidth

I don't find the parade of pretty ladies unpleasant.
Not at all.

That's really why I let them run.

Adblockers are great - even if Google knows where I've been they can't remind me.

 

[Argus]

Ads based on what you've recently searched?

The first thing that comes up on my screen just now in this woodworking site was an ad for an office chair.

I retired 15 years ago and the last office chair I sought out was about 10 years before that in Staples when I went freelance.
That's a distant memory, now.

Its browsing history, I'm using the missus laptop which she doesnt use any more and the number of "Roman Originals" dress adverts I used to get would confuse anybody who did not know me.

Ad blocker solved the problem.
i do understand the revenue side of this argument, but the other day I was watching a youtube discussion and my adblocker showed SIXTY EIGHT blocked ads. Without the adblocker, that 10 minute discussion would have lasted all day.
