Whenever i do make use of certain browsers whether Chrome, Firefox, ME,Brave or Opera. I do really make use of incognito or private window on which it wont really be saving up cookies or histories on what you had
searched out on which you wouldnt really be able to see those irrelevant ads that you arent really that liking to see. Its true that it is really that sometimes that irritating on the time that their appearance is already that
more than as usual which is something that a common case on where these ads is showing knowing that companies would really be that aggressive on the time that they would be able to see some potential
customer or a specific audience. If you dont like totally having those ads specially on some sites then you could always have that ad blocker but if we do speak about youtube and
other social media platforms then there's no way on avoiding those things.
We do have a choice and that's a lot of option to make if we want to get rid of these ads whether they're gambling related or not. This is how these companies are tracking us and throwing us the ad that's for us.
You are right, though not gambling related, I remember that in several occasions, I've search for something on Aliexpress for example, an Item I wish to buy, only to return later to YouTube, facebook and start seeing ads on that particular product I searched for..
This is also the same thing that happens with gambing as well, some times, I try to find out some things happening in the gambling world, so I head to Google and type the keyword "latest gambling updates, news", and later during that day, I return to YouTube to start watching gambling related ads in-between videos, I must confess its really annoying most times, but that is simply the internet, nothing much can really be done.
Yep, there is nothing we can do about that but use those ad blockers or browsers that automatically disable those ads. That's how they make money and that's why our data is important to them.
Incognito browsing is great for the most part since it keeps your cookies from being traced (cookies are basically what they call 'internet trackers' which are the tiny bits of data that tells the site a lot about the user), but it still doesn't shield you from the gambling ads altogether. The best way you could really rid yourself of these pesky advertisements is through the use of ad blockers which they themselves blocks all ads, saving you the trouble of ever worrying about getting cut off from that stuff you're watching on Youtube by some unrelated advertisement. Plus using an ad blocker also disallows these sites from getting your cookies, and since you don't need to go incognito your search history is saved, which is especially helpful for people who tend to go back and forth on some sites and pages.
Yeah, it may not protect you wholly but at least that's the least that one can do. Those that don't want to download ad blockers or don't like to change their browsers, they can rely to incognito to at least not track what they're searching for and it won't be saved.
