Does everybody get these stupid T&A pop up on IBOATS... no other site I visit pops ups with such a multitude of insignificant pictures. Is there a way to stop them without going STRICT mode on my "privacy - search tracking prevention" option ?.

I get an add for PDF manuals and manual editors (because I have spent 2 days looking for an alternative to MS Publisher). clear your browsing cache. most advertising is triggered from your browser history

I get the SAME advertising regardless of where and what topic I was interested in. It's all based on your computers browsing that creates an algorithm based on that computer. To test it out spend an evening researching lawnmowers. Search out a few brands - read the reviews etc.....Then your pop up's change ;)

When I do something like that I usually get targeted ads for alcoholism and addiction hot lines. :ROFLMAO:

Between Firefox and Eset I have no pop ups. Firefox has a little program that allows you to remove your browser history every day.

No pop ups, targeted ads are easy just search for a new mattress for a. Ouple hours then that will be most all you see. Pop ups is a brwosers setting. Dive in there.

History targeted ads be blocked in various ways. Google, but then ironically note you will not be targeted with ads to help you not be targeted, unless it's for a paid service.
