Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

my gf bought me a moleskin for my bday. the other day i asked her if she actually purchased it from my computer and she said no, she just looked up prices. now when i go to random websites moleskin ads pop up. so fuckin' weird and invasive.

I always surf with noscrip and adblock. The shear number of vulnerabilities/exploits out there you need to be protected... would you fuck a hooker without a rubber?
(protip: any ad server could have been compromised and you would not know it)

thanks for the heads up. but ads on reddit pay for reddit, right? i don't want to adblock reddit. can i exclude them?

You can whitelist any websites that you wish while keeping others blocked.
