  • Select “No, don’t make my ads more relevant by using this information.”

    I tried this with my wife once... She cracked and voluntarily turned that setting back on after she started getting a ton of alt-right advertisements. :(

    • Does she not have uBlock Origin installed?

      • Yeah, and that works on her laptop's browser, but her primary computing device is her mobile phone. So ads on YouTube app, ads on Facebook app, ads on Instagram app, also ads on TV YouTube app.

        • I wonder how she'd react to NewPipe (unless she's on iOS).

        • Firefox + uBlock works for YouTube on mobile (Android, anyway). It will even allow videos to keep running in the background.

          I can't speak to if it works for FB and IG but it's worth a shot.

            I know!!! I'm right there with ya. This is what I do!

            Unfortunately, the app runs smoother or something idk. She doesn't like using the browser. I've tried, man. IDK. 🤷
