    Settings -> Adverts -> Adverts based on my preferences

    I use rarely Facebag, just PMs.... But the Ad list above is getting populated anyway. I block Cookies and JS and use Host file blocking, and now don't even get Ads on YouTube anymore.

    You reap what you sow. Enjoy your legacy, Dork.
