We should be able to tag ourselves within our browsers.
When I install FF, I should be asked what applies to me (tech, baseball, family) and then all advertising can look to this public info first and display what's relevant only.
THIS should replace ad-blockers. Then we don't have to destroy our favorite sites' revenues and I don't have to see any prescription medicine ads.
And get rid of ads I have to "skip", ads that "pop-under", and ads that cover what I'm supposed to be reading.
