If you’re a Chrome user, do yourself a favour and become a Firefox (or Zen Browser, librewolf, etc) user instead. Not only does Chrome now stop you from blocking ads to make the internet tolerable, it has for a long time told Google everything you’re doing online - even in private browsing. Yeah, that’s why the haemorrhoid ads are following you (lol idk, but you get the idea). Linked content [1].
