[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 407744, member: 1872"] The reason I am asking is because I use google, and I've been noticing advertisements on random web pages that pertain to my specific interests. For example I was thinking of getting some further education at an online university and I was researching this university and wrote to them (via gmail). Now I am encountering ads from that specific university on non-related websites. I see ads for many of my other interests, too. I'm not liking this feeling that I'm being watched (even though I obviously am, I still don't like seeing those startlingly specific ads). Also what browser are you guys using these days? I'm a long-time firefox user, since it was an upstart in the 1.1 release range. But I'm getting tired of it. Anyone use Opera, Safari, or Chrome? I use a Mac so I can't use Explorer. Jo [/QUOTE]
