now alternating between that and this ad



I have been looking at that tablet (haven't been searching thai matches I swear :)), maybe its just because I've been using websites like lightinthebox.com/aliexpress etc to buy some gadgets...

yeah maybe its just because I looked at a few pages from banggood.com, which does sound incredible dodgy, but is just an aliexpress clone.

Yep, visit some sites and you will see some ads... Blocking the domain for the Thai matches now.

I was shown this ad too.  This was a computer with a near new Windows installation and next to no browsing history/cookies.  Not sure what they go off when looking crawling for personal content though.
