I take it a kind of weird 21st century compliment that my machine learnt ad suggestions are so poor. I think it indicates Google/Facebook don't have that much data for me. Sometimes it's fun game trying to work out how the algorithm possibly thought I would know people from other countries with no mutual friends. > subscribe to Grammarly Oh my god. I considered installing it just to stop the ads, but I see that doesn't help.

> Oh my god. I considered installing it just to stop the ads, but I see that doesn't help. I have mixed feelings about Grammarly. It's a perfect example of a thing that should not be an on-line service, but a fully off-line product. In its current form, it's essentially a keylogger.

  They don't integrate with my email clients anyway, and their browser extensions are overreaching. I just use its desktop (Electron) app and website. Copy the text I want to proofread there, edit it, then paste it back. Wish their browser extensions would have a non-invasive on-demand mode, where the user has to click the toolbar icon to initiate the verification explicitly.
