    Ads on this board

    They've gotten a lot worse, haven't they. Even Adblock plus can't stop the 4 big ones at the top of the page on my mobile. Scrolling for ages. That's if you haven't already clicked on one that sneakily appears! It's beyond really.

    I was going to ask about this, my Adblock blocks everything but those giant ones at the top.

    I disagree. Without them, I wouldn't have made £425,000 on Bitcoin in 24 hours. How lucky am I?

    The annoying huge ones at the top appeared for me a couple of weeks ago but seem to have gone now.

    They are targeted to recent browser searches.

    On computer use ublock origin. For mobile use Adguard. Don't download from the play/applestore - go the actual website and download from there.

    I'll have you know I haven't been searching for fried eggs!

    Those of you with adblockers/adguard. Read the small print of what they do with your data!

    They didn’t just create an app from the goodness of their heart

    This site is ridiculous for ads though

    It's a bit late to worry about all that, don't you think?

    Can you tell me what the small print says, seeing as you've read it? And to save me reading it

    Fair play! Basically they track all your browsing clicks on all websites (including incognito stuff ;-)). and sell it onto 3rd parties for all sorts of re-targeting (think Cambridge Analytica)

    I mean, not the end of the world. Depends on your stance, some people don’t mind as it means you are getting served relevant stuff to you, some people think it’s a massive invasion of privacy.

    There’s new regulation which should prohibit this so interesting to see if they stick around or just find another way around it

    The single mum looking for love seems to follow me around the UK as well.

    In the last week she's popped up in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bristol and London.
