There are targeted ads, and then there are invasive ads. The tremendous intrusion of privacy falls more in to the invasive bucket.

If you like ads, maybe there should be a portal you go to see ads just for you- if you'd like to surrender all your data to have someone else tell you what you should buy. Having ads be part of browsing experience is just an awful user experience.

See weirdly enough I do this - that's in many ways what eBay and other classified sites are for me. When I visit them I'm very much asking for people to advertise to me, convince me to consider their wares.
