Even if you don't use Firefox for anything except this quilting forum, I recommend installing and using it. It is free, fast, and clean. I never see ads here.
I use Firefox almost all the time (can't really explain why Internet Explorer is still installed). I have really noticed the difference on Facebook. I play Lexulous and had logged in with IE one day and wondered why there were suddenly all these ads around my game. Firefox blocks them all. |
I use Firefox and I just started getting the ads, that's why I asked about them, I hadn't been getting anything like that until the day I posted the question. They seem to be gone now.

Aside from the content of the page, they factor in the pages you've seen before, your location, other sites you visited, demographic information and so on. So two people could be looking at the same page and see different ads. In any case, I blocked that particular domain so we shouldn't have any ads from them any more. I appreciate your mentioning how much info can be gathered from little bits posted here and there. |
Is Firefox compatible with Macs? We have Safari, but some sites don't work well with it. And I definitely wouldn't mind getting rid of the ads.
I agree it is extremely scary and creepy how much info they gather.http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-scared003.gif |
