Ok... just checked out what I could do.  I already had blocked some obvious categories but they've given me a new way to manage ads since I've visited the panel.  I've blocked a bunch of them.  See if it makes a difference.  Might have to give it a day or two... not sure.

I've clicked those ads that say, "See vintage photos of...." fill in the blank.  They are old time depression images or  "Can't explain these images".  Then I'll get some of the the ads FW is getting.  So I know it happens.  I've clicked on some of them and said "I don't want to see this kind of ad again" but that doesn't work.  I gave up.

I see that too, just thought goodle was basing stuff on my age.  I went into my goodel account while wasting time at work today and switched off all tracking.  They actually let you do that with some effort.

Meanwhile, I came across this while checking my feeds.  I despise apple devices, all I have are Android.  Gonna do some attacking on that point.

Well the ones I am seeing today are Midway USA (visited that site yesterday), some ad about dude necklaces and that's it.  There is also the pop up ads that change every time you open a page that appears at the bottom of the page, the one you can click "I don't want to see this ad again", but as you noted, if you do that it just brings in another ad.

  Phone or home PC/ Laptop Jeff?   I still say all the crap coming through is on phones.

          Thanks, but is it the junk Wrench is showing or just various things you have searched or like you said fill in dude necklace type stuff?  Pat and I share the laptop and I may get ladies shoes and clothes. So far nothing out of line

Nothing wrong with that.   It’s a free country so if you want to wear that it’s ok.  😁

I get some scantily clad ladies, or at least used to.
