Advertising ought to be on demand, really. So you might say "I want to do x, what are my options?" and then you'd receive a bunch of relevant ads.
Having it pushed at you all the time regardless of what you intend to do just puts you off doing anything at all except tell everyone to piss off and leave you alone.
I should just be able to say "I want to eat a Dundee biscuit" and receive a range of offers of delicious Dundee biscuits.
But no, constant chaos and NO DUNDEE BISCUITS AT ALL.

What's even worse is that actually buying something results in a fire hose to the face of adverts for the thing you just bought.
@Walrus @llamasoft_ox HA !!!! You should have seen what happened FOR MONTHS AFTER the time Ox searched for some "toilet pics" for an icon ...
@gilesgoat @Walrus ah that was long ago, in the times before uBlock Origin. The Chatsworth will haunt me no more.
