Can ye get rid of underwear ads with borderline nudity ?

CreadanLady · 18-05-2022 12:06pm #1

Seriously, I keep getting banner ads coming up with women modelling underwear and it is embarrasing. If I check boards in my place of work and one of these ads appears it is going to look pervy and it will get me in trouble if someone sees it.

Is there anything ye can do to get rid of ads like this?

The ads are based on your own browsing history...

Use adblock plus addon/ext from your browser as i dont see any adds.

You must be looking up nudey stuff at work.

Not necessarily. I often get random ads that have no relation to anything I looked at

Moved from Site Development. I thought we used to have a dodgy ads thread, but I can't find it now.

If anyone sanctioned the above craic.. adds keep jumping into the middle of the screen…

the underwear adds, I’m getting too but I’m getting loads for stuff I don’t look up too :p

Not true, I had the same adverts showing up yesterday while looking at Boards during lunchtime and I definitely not been googling Ladies underwear

Ah here. Not fair! Why am I not getting those ads. I'm only getting ads on paint and iPads both of which I have googled recently. Why am I getting ads based on what I googled and the OP is getting free porn based on what he "didn't Google".

Its not just what you have googled you also get adds for what you have just read about here so touts is in with a chance yet.

I like them. Keep it up. Great work guys 👍

So untrue. They are actually based on your aspirational browsing history.

This simple and safe host file which is free will block all ads on Boards and elsewhere. It's very safe to apply and it makes your PC a lot more secure.

This is what I see when I am on boards.

I’m looking at giant mickeys now.

Right now, I get adverts for "Hero Wars" games, some dog food, some hotel chain, and a CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 conference. I should search for a model catalogue (hopefully I'll get something more exciting than ads for RC controlled cars).

I'm seeing those Hero Wars ads now too - Was getting the underwear ones all day until I realised you can click a little X on the top right corner of the ad to say you don't want to see them anymore/that they're inappropriate.

Saucy screenshots or GTFO.

victor8600 · 18-05-2022 2:00pm

Damn, my ads are so boring!

Update! I just saw a swimwear ad, but sadly it disappeared before I could take a screenshot.

I found the dodgy ads thread:
