...on every f*****g website of the internet these days?

It's like they track me all the time since they know I won't be watching any television anymore because of these sh***y commercials and ads pissing me off all the damn time, so they went to go bully me here right now! :lol:

I will get an adblocker these days, but the idea of the ad industry being like this these days really scares the triangle s**t out of me.

PS I don't like Firefox, I'm using Chrome atm.

(Sorry for all the swearing)

It maybe seems like they are tracking you because they are tracking you! Chrome in particular (Google ads) will track you and Google will serve you the adverts it thinks you are (rightly or wrongly) interested in.

I am getting ads about losing weight and curing autism. They are, without doubt, much worse than your Belgian ads.
