Link has list of protection program. I use TrustE, Stop Google Tracking, and Privacy Choice (all). I get none of the side bar ads, seen on social sites, YouTube, AA, etc.

Thanks for the tip. My web pages are
loading faster. Some pages show up to
26 services being blocked. If you
click on the blue stop symbol you can
see how many services and unblock if needed.Jerry P

This thread is pretty fragmented, reply-wise, so it's hard to know where to post this, so I'll just post here under the OP.
I don't mind ads which entice me to buy Toyota or Nissan or Verizon or some audio product or whatever, but when these ads for girls come up, it's just plain sleazy. Please block them at the server level. Surely, you can do that. Thanks.

The ads are based on your previous surfing habits.

Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there, black and white,
clear as crystal! Blah, blah, and so on and so forth ...
"The ads are based on your previous surfing habits."
That's a more or less reasonable, but simplistic, explanation. It goes deeper than that. It goes to words contained in pages which a person has viewed or typed, whether or not those words are relevant.
For example, I could type the word "floor", and whether or not floors are relevant to the conversation, it will be logged as a potential ad topic.

. . . ("Russian Mail-Order Brides - Intelligent, Docile, and Submissive!"). I'd show them to my wife (who is already intelligent) and ask her, "Why can't you be more docile and submissive?". Man, would she get mad! ;-)
But for the last couple of years, not only have I contributed, but I also use Privacy Badger - it doesn't work with all browsers on all computers, but it works with what I'm using. Anyway, for me the ads no longer appear.
get a (free) proxy server and it blocks all that crap. I don't now nor never have gotten any of the crap people talk of here from time to time.

I've tried to find it many more times than once. It goes away when a new topic is posted like it did with your post. I'll get it another go.

And why do I keep getting these "Russian wives" and "Asian girls" ads?!
Heck, today, I got an ad for Gillette razors, right after I clicked on LWR's "Straight Razor" thread.
C'mon. Rod M, as a self-proclaimed "web geek", you can block this crap. Although, you might not want to, since it apparently brings in revenue.
:(
Very tempting, but I don't have the credit line to pay for such things. :)

contribute and it all goes away.

... It only takes a few shekels and magically all the ads disappear.
Plus, when I am taking pot-shots at people I feel much better knowing they are paying for the privilege.
C'mon, take the plunge, you will respect yourself in the morning if you do.

Maybe the best Add-On for Mozilla Firefox.....
The only ads I see are "Asylum Trader"..........

I don't know about the girls. Did you recently search for a Russian wife?
None of our Contributors see any of those ads.

This message has been moved to a more appropriate venue .
I HEARD the word "contributors". ;)
I think I've also figured out why the Asian girls ad comes up. We have a router which lets us have several computers online. When my son is home from college (summer, weekends), he's online with friends in Korea and Japan. Still not sure about the Russian brides, except now that I've typed both of the phrases, the ads will probably keep coming up.
I despise this snooping/watching/monitoring/data-gathering aspect of the Internet, and am irritated that the government continues to allow it.
Update my Adobe Flash Player to "improve my browsing experience"? So I can receive more full motion video ads? HA!

Just put some money in the cookie jar. I'm sure Rod will fill in the proper procedure.
