I have switched to entering on edge and, for now the ads are not popping up as they did with google chrome ---- I had never had the problem before and it unnerved me a bit...I like to believe this is just PC, for us, not for someone's "buy this"...not usually paranoid but I find myself wondering if "they" are collecting data from PC members...
(I prefer to be low tech----being older, having lived off the grid for a fair part of my adult life, not a tv person...the ads feel intrusive and are definitely not wanted.
