Me too, that's why I so often visit on-line places in which I have little interest and why I tell lies to many engines and trackers. My ISP gives differing locations for my "last log-in" and I often search for those locations. Facebook must now think I'm a pilot because I get so quickly from one place to another. laugh

I imagine you know that already, but nobody actually watches anything of it of course, the software joins up the dots and feeds what it thinks is relevant.

Oh, I also have lots of tracker/advertising/malware sites obfuscated via the hosts file and 0.0.0.0 IP address entries.
