Getting so many NSFW dating/straight up p##n ads. I shit you not they have even had CP ads I have seen. Disgusting and completely illegal.

Ads are served based on your browsing history. If you have never watched those, then you probably should check on you 8yo child or wife's who's using the same acc

Ads are served based on your browsing history.

Not really. Ads served on Google ecosystem is geo-based, if you don't logged in your Google account or where your YouTube connected. You cannot get rid of it, unless you wipe all Chrome and Android users.

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in my browsing history that would suggest I’m looking for a boyfriend 🤮
