Still getting TONS of car advertising, after I bought one 8 months ago (when I see it).

seriously car ads are what pushed me to JavaScript off by default since their ads are almost as rude as porn ads. Even the normal advertising reset trick of "open all in new tab" on a folder with a dozen cloud/server hosts didn't swap out advertising to their normally sane ads.




i bought my friends kid a backpack that looked like an owl. i got advertisements for the it for a few weeks after, which was strange to me. I bought the backpack on amazon, and the advertisements were amazon. didn't they know I bought it already? didn't they know I probably didn't need 2 of them?


Can you elaborate on the reset trick? It's new to me.


Cloud providers, web hosts, and similar all provide pretty acceptable ads on average (soundless, videoless), while also tending to be a high bidder.

So sometimes I would use the open all option on a bookmark folder that I shoved a bunch of providers in. Just to have those ads show
