Ads on Yahoo
« on: July 04, 2017, 02:01:02 pm »
Has anyone else noticed the ads on Yahoo being tailored to you whether you are logged in or not when you are surfing?

I searched for resume templates earlier today.  I was not logged in to my email or anything.  I have not been on here in a few hours.  I log on and the first ad I see is for "resume templates".  I wonder if anybody realizes how often every thing we do is tracked?

I only had a Yahoo account because I was on Flickr for years, but since they changed it (Flickr) a few years back, I never get on. So, I have a Yahoo account, but never use it. I use Adblocker on my "regular" browser, but don't on the browser I use for FC and similar sites.

That happens a lot.  The one thing I do not like is popups appearing while I am working on something else. It's so annoying and irritating.
