Farooq | فاروقAlright I now regret using <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>. Not because <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> did shoot with the source code. Because its blocker doesn't protect my <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a>. I also regret reading about ADHD on my Android phone on <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Chrome</a> or even having a normal <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> phone.Last week I read about ADHD on the web using Android's stock Chrome, now Google ads is showing me advertisements about ADHD. Down with you Google.If anyone cares about their privacy, they should avoid <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> like <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/plague" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plague</a> It's a pity still people use the services it offers including the search engine.The <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Web</a> has become a bad and creepy place.

Jan Penfrat<a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Schibsted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Schibsted</a> argues they cannot rely on contextual ads "as long as advertisers don't pay the same money for them as they do for personalised ads."Really, this is why banning <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/TrackingAds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TrackingAds</a> is so powerful a solution because it would take the harmful <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/RTB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RTB</a> business model off the market.
