It's painfully apparent that my Amazon and Google searches for merchandize (tools, clothes, porn, and etc.) are guiding advertisements to popup on various websites that I visit. Can someone tell me how to reduce or eliminate to these directed advertisements?
I don't Text (at least not very well), I eat Blackberrys, and I only Twitter after sex...

Also, if you use someone else's computer or phone it doesn't show up on yours. Cheers. :modo

adblockplus with Google Chrome on my computers keeps the ads away. A lot of times, the ads are not really on the web page, but are in your computer making it look like they are on the web page. This site has zero ads.

On the phone, I use CM Security that seems to be good at finding the privacy loopholes.

If you use a web based email address and social media sites, they often require open privacy settings that allow them to see what you have been searching for or browsing.

Welcome to the new world, where the browsing info leeches are no longer referred to as "viruses" like they were in the past. :?
