Hi all,

This has been a very common scenario since more than a year now -
You browse for some products on ecom websites / explore ticketing options at few airlines and you start getting 'those ads'/'recommendations based on that' in every damn website you visit.

I want to understand how to disable that. Also isn't that a breach of privacy.
What other steps should one take to make sure that your browsing habits are discreet ?

Thanks,
 
If you use Chrome and cookies expect everything to be tracked with targeted ads... You can install adblock plus to not see any ad but you will still be tracked
 
Adblock plus is just too cool. The product ads were not annoying to me but on the Torrent page, those vulgar ads were a pain. Since installing adblock, life has been good :p
 
Thanks guys.

Any other inputs ?

I think Disconnect will only work for future occurrences. For current ads, I will still keep getting it.
Haven't tried Adblock Plus, but seems like that is must have along with Disconnect.

@ronnie_gogs - So there is now way (except proxies) to avoid getting tracked ?
By that logic ISPs will have all your browsing details ?

@nRiTeCh - You can click on "Try it for now"
 
I know what you are talking about.

Go to chrome://settings/

then click on extensions.
Then disable the malicious extensions.
 
I will suggest two plugins for complete p peace of mind:
1.adblock edge
2.ghostry

please read about difference between adblock plus and adblock edge.
