Maddening Ad Banner Female

I get much sketchier ads when I use the Google Chrome browser. So much for Google's ability to collect accurate data on its users!

I uninstalled Chrome yesterday, and neither Explorer nor Firefox seems to be sending me ads for trafficked women. However, on my recently purchased Windows tablet, I spent some time looking for a band saw on Amazon, posting on a concrete art forum, posting on OB and Slippertalk, and playing a couple of math puzzle games. So obviously, I'm a man who is unable to form normal relationships with women, so I got an ad for fully dressed mail order Asian brides - a very small improvement over barely dressed Asian girls with huge implants.

Explorer actually allows users to opt out of ads from certain ad agencies, and you need to list which ones. Google just asks you for your profile information, and then ignores it. I had to guess, by the ad agency names, which ones to opt out of - and I think I got it right. If the absence of trafficking ads continues, I will post the agencies I opted out of.

I think it's due to references to Asian countries (for example Tailand) for some of the orchids which prompts it. That's been my guess anyway. I've not found a way to get rid of them. I was seeing the Asian beauties adds all the time at the beginning of the year when I wasn't a forum supporter (which does get rid of them).

The forum has no control on what adds you see in the google adds and everyone get's different ones, based on your previous browsing, but also the content of the page you are looking at.
I started seeing ads like that after frequenting the Dokmai Gardens website (Dokmai Dogma). They are in Thailand - hence I must be looking for an Asian mail order bride!! (Grrrr)

I also use Chrome. I just cleaned it and now I'm getting Asian girl ads.
