This is a great opportunity to conduct a double blind experiment! Set up three Chrome profiles: your current one, one that's totally fresh, and one that's connecting from a different IP over a Socks proxy. Write a script to randomly start Chrome with one of these profiles; every hour quit the browser, restart it with a random profile, and record the ads you see. Do they all get the same distribution of ads? Do they start out different, but eventually converge?
