I switched to firefox with noscript. Stop using chrome 90% of times. Turn off 3rd party cookie on default for all browsers. pointed doubleclick.net/com to 127.0.0.1 to /etc/hosts.
The web felt less creepy now.

Between work and several staff of wildly different interests it can't target to save itself. It reminds me of a comment on HN some time ago where it was mentioned that grocery store discount cards were randomly shuffled between friends to prevent tracking.

- CamperBob2 13y agoI don't run noscript, but I find it's just as helpful to hit ctrl-shift-P to open a private browsing window in Firefox whenever I'm about to visit a site I don't want to see future ads from.
