I get the feeling this thing, I mean, the ad targeting is far stronger in the USA (maybe also in europe) than in the rest of the world. My “ad targeting” is idiotic. I once was in brazil (argentinian here!). And got ads in portuguese for a year or so. I was a month planning on buying a computer, with all that that involves (google searchs, looking for prices on internet) and i never got an ad until i actually bought everything, then it was 2 months of ads recommending me to buy the exact same components i already bought.
As today, half of my ads are in german. Jokes on them, i use them to learn.
I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is ‘ad’, not add.
Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It’s also a security feature in the post-2000’s internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.
You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.
its way more likely that your mom searched for cancer related information on google. and you are connected to your mom, so you get ads as well.
