    The ads are not controlled by MFP.

    Good to know...but also odd. I've been a part of forums that get to pick who they allow to advertise so I didn't even realize that was an option.

    It's mostly re-targeted ads. I get a lot of web hosts & nutrition supplement ads, because I'm a software developer & I read a lot of nutritional/fitness sites.

    Your re-targetting seems to indicate you've been spending some time on McDonald's or other not-so-healthy websites ;)

    Go and Google something. Anything, like boots or cookware and your ads will change, to you know, boots or cookware ;) At least that's what I've found.

    Use a browser with add-ons or extensions like Chrome or Firefox - AdBlock is free and I see zero ads - it's wonderful.

    Google Chrome>>>>>Ad block Plus>>>>>don't track me/Blur>>>>>Pocket


    You'll thank me later.

    Somehow YT got around it for a bit and I almost threw my laptop out the window.

    I've been pretty immune to McDonalds since those 1 dollar dbl cheeseburglers went bye bye....My roomate and I used to make weekly runs on friday/Sat. night depending on who was sober....

    Nothing like ordering 10 dbl cheeseburgers, 4 orders of large fries and 4 large diet cokes and it all being like 20 bucks for a house full of people partying late.
