Bosi72 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I recently started getting strange ads about funerals, cremations.. 🙂  I suspect visiting this and similar accidents-related forums, and knowing that our phones/computers send more data about our interests and habbits, that will trigger the algorithms and start showing the aforementioned ads.  To fix this, you will need to clear the cache and cookies from your browser 🙂 Edited January 13, 2023 by Bosi72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hopefully you don't get any that says "you must be wealthy pilot, please send a generous donation" 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I have resisted paying for YouTube subscription which claims to remove ads. Has anyone done it, and does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Just install Adblock or Adblock Plus, and Ghostery. They both remove a lot of annoying ads and can be tailored/adjusted in their settings.  Also, do not agree to cookies unless you know the site is user-friendly as regards targeting you for ads or spam. The newspaper sites are the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done it, and does it? I have a premium subscription, worth every cent. Only ads are those presented by the creator, example Trent Palmer will talk about square space in his videos.  1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG3 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yes, just install Adblock. I've used it for years and it works really well. It's free but I give donations because it's so good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
