Opting Out of Personalized Ads

       We can opt out of receiving on our computing devices ads that are aimed exactly at each of us individually. 

       Many different sources provide these personalized ads--you can't opt out of all personalized ads at once. 

       To opt out, you read and re-read obscure words and sentences.  They want to make you feel like a dummy so you'll just forget about opting out.  Then they want you to feel like a loser:  "Remember, you'll still get ads anyway, just not ones tailored for you."

       When you see an ad appear suddenly for a kind of thing you maybe just bought online yesterday, go to the corner of the ad, click on the tiny icon, have a little patience, and you'll be free of at least one source.
