Jake, I would have thought you'd be the second person to use TOR browser.
Todd would have been my first guess, but I don't know if he uses internet...
Nah, generally I don't worry about it. I am but a tiny minnow in a very large sea. Sometimes those ads have interesting stuff in them. I do have adblocker, though...not sure why it's not working anymore.
Because Adblocker started getting paid by advertisers to let their ads go through.
Adblocker is now old hat. There are other products on the market now that don't play by the advertisers rules - but the advertisers are fighting back.
A lot of the ads these days have "pingbacks" of sorts to the server - so that when they're displayed on the client machine, they let the server know "hey, it showed up" and this tells the server to display the content that you want to see. Its nefarious but its a constant game of cat and mouse between the people who don't want to be bothered by ads and those who will stop at nothing to show them to you.
Personally I find it fascinating.
