I've been looking for a job in the past few days and now every single ad on the forum is something in the lines of "find a free girl" or something equally creepy. I know that google ads work in a way that they only suggest you stuff that you have already visited, but I didn't look for "free girls" anywhere.

Is there a way to fix this? This happens on my phone too, and I can't disable the ads there.

By the way, could you please make the ads smaller in the mobile version?

if you use android then you can install it without root access, in ff you can even install an extension of it

clear cookies and cache, make sure its not leftovers from flash cookies or something... even if you use private mode, sometimes there are leftovers from other beacons
make lots of searches for mini games that a kid would search (flash\shokwave games like the ones on miniclip)

It's Google AdSense Ads, right? Click on the little X in the corner of the ad (if it has one, normally they do.) and click "Stop seeing this ad" and select "Inappropriate" or "Irrelevant". That's how I get rid of ads, it works pretty much every time.

Oh my God, the ONLY person who read my posts. Thank you.

I will try that in a moment.

If that doesn't work, I'll look around for other ways to disable them.
Really the only ads that don't have the X on them are things like Bitdefender or Bell cellphone ads, (which had the AdSense button on it, but that's it. Also, fuck Bell.) and I also got some ad about assembling PCB boards that didn't have one.
