What's with the chevy ad?
It seems to be in many topics. Adware or a new revenue stream?

Re: What's with the chevy ad?
Likely a targeted ad. On my page I get ads based on various things I have recently looked for . You may have looked at a Chevy site recently . Clear your cookie cache. Then try looking up boat related stuff the ads will change.

Ad blocker can now block targeted ads...

Re: What's with the chevy ad?
I have never looked at a Chevy ad, let alone a 2016 Silverado. I do, however, inadvertently click on the ad about 10 times in 15 minutes. They probably make it sensitive so they make money on the hits.

Here is my suggestion go Google and look at some boat related stuff like a new dink motor just not Honda ( you may start getting Honda car ads)

Re: What's with the chevy ad?
Definitely Google Search related as I have recently done a lot of research on Achilles tendon operations and now I see Philippine medical adds and insurance on the new CF App.

Re: What's with the chevy ad?
I use the private browser, so no matter what I search, I always see the default Chevy ad.

Re: What's with the chevy ad?
Hah! The ad disappeared! HA!!
It will likely return.. I almost feel sorry for the teens and dirty old man cruisers who visit land to get in range of Internet porn. Wonder what ads they are going to get hit with! HA HA HA!!
I know, inappropriate...  I will slap my hand...
