And, do you bother setting up an opt out control so visitors does not get profiled by BigG advertising platform when visiting your website? No? Sooo bad! That's why I recommend to ALWAYS set up AdBlock to most paranoid settings and block every ad on every page, sorry for the honest webmaster trying to do an honest living with ads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055995847918022147.post-48346265779119851192012-11-17T01:44:10.694+05:302012-11-17T01:44:10.694+05:30Even Java (the official Java from Oracle / Sun) no...Even Java (the official Java from Oracle / Sun) now tries to install the Ask Toobar like a cheap piece of disreputable crapware.
