Why all of the ads?

[metric_taper]

I am trying a different browser (Firefox rather than Chrome) because of all of the adds I get from Chrome/Google and that browser did not automatically log me in
so I saw all of the adds. Hopefully I will find the settings in Firefox to do auto login as Chrome does.

In firefox, select Tool/options/ (a new tab will popup) then select Privacy & security, then scroll down to Logins & passwords, select "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites", also "use a master password". You need to set that password up. Makes it nice if you ever forget a site password you can have it show it to you after you key in the master password.

As long as you don't log out, the next time you visit the site, it logs you in. For your financial banking and such, their security requires login as they log you out for non use.

As Marv Klotz indicates, install extension Ublock origin. I also have No Script, and also use duckduckgo for a search engine, as they don't track me. However, I don't know how they make money to support it. There are also 'containers', I've installed google container, so it locks their eyes from other cookies and such. If you do facebook there is a container for that, as well Disconnect for facebook, all to prevent them from looking at other cookies, as well sites that snoop for these. I've installed fbpurity (from fbpurity.com) which allows you to kill all the FB adverts and other annoying popups.
