I know right?

When I was really young, the things that targeted ads thought I'd want, or the way that some video game fan websites would really confuse the topic categorization, was funny to me rather than annoying (my favourite was how it'd mistake a particular subheading of the downloads section of a Sims website and assume people viewing that website were doing real life house hunting, so the ads on that page were always for real estate and rental property listing sites), but by the time I was a teenager it was getting really old, and the annoyance was greater than the humour value. So I finally looked into doing something about it. There was a time when Internet advertising was only mildly annoying and just how free services were paid for and looking at it was part of the social contract, but as it's become a plague and a security issue, the agreement's been broken and it's only fair to fight back.
