You don t actually opt out of the ads
You don t actually opt out of the ads as this dishonest company intends to imply You opt out of this new garbage called ad personalization which is the cute way that Google adchoices and Facebook adsense promotes scam artists and makes it seem as though you had control over what you would see They won t dare whisper the notion of not seeing any ads as that would cut into their revenue I was almost killed by one of Google s adchoices ads The ads from Google and Facebook were able to take over my phone and force unskippable videos I was driving from Wisconsin to Florida and had to get off one freeway to take surface streets to another freeway somewhere in Tennessee My GPS was working and had me driving through a desolated area A video ad forced its way onto my HTC phone and my GPS failed to reload the route I had no idea where I was going and had to drive around for four hours before I could get another signal I emailed Google s adchoices and they apologized because they thought I just didn t like the ad itself Brain dead robots work at Digital Advertising Alliance Google and Facebook

I feel I am violated every day with all
I feel I am violated every day with all these unwanted and unsolicited adds I consider them Spam and should fall under CASL My phone has been invated by these adds and every one that gets through I note so I will never buy those products no matter what they are The government should crash this Advertising Alliance Make it illegal These attack Androids Do they do the same on IPhones Does anyone know

utter rubbish
This is a good idea in theory but utter rubbish in practice No matter how many times I ve tried to opt out of online advertising and its invasive browser-slowing garbage this tool just doesn t work It opts you out of a few advertisers but for me there are always well over a hundred that don t allow you to opt out no matter how many times you run the tool

This place is a complete farce
This place is a complete farce The overwhelming majority of opt-out requests if you can even find the appropriate place to submit those through all of the digital pamphlets telling you how great it is to be personally advertised to do not work Instead of providing some alternate means to complete the opt-out process you can learn more at a page that lists two dozen things that might be wrong with you your browser or your shower soap that are preventing the opt-out process to complete This is a complete tool of advertisers They are not your friend

DAA - part of the scam problem
I have consistently tried across all three major browsers to opt-out of the 119 or so listed scammers masquerading as ads - like the highly fraudulent and ever-annoying OutBrain Over ten years NOT ONCE has DAA been either useful complete or permanent I have hundreds of more ads every year and no browser extension can remove them with Akamai being the very worst without wrecking the functionality of the website I am trying to view DAA has never responded to emails
