Instead of fighting ads, try beating them. When you see an ad for something you already own, click it. That costs the advertiser money for a click that goes nowhere. It’s petty, but satisfying.
Alternatively, train Google to think you’re a completely different person. Search for “how to knit a sweater” and “best yak milk recipes.” Suddenly, your ads become delightfully confusing—a curated chaos that feels like a surrealist art project.
Pro move: Use a separate browser profile for “real life” (banking, work) and another for “rabbit holes” (horror movie trivia, hydroponic gardening). You’ll feel like a digital sage.
