And I get that Sync doesn't control ads. But I wonder if there's settings to adjust? Because this is super creepy.

Ads track you and the serve based on what they believe you are interested in

If you have targeted ads turned off they'll serve you all sorts of shit. I'd get the weirdest ads for stuff I definitely hadn't looked up, shown an interest in, etc before I started using ad blockers

Which accounts do you use? It tracks if you login to similar accounts
