Oof. Stackoverflow coming under fire again.

Not sure what they expect though given their audience consists of millions of devs from across the world who use the site daily...

It's not a SO issue, well directly.
It's ads trying to identify you regardless of your privacy preferences.

Why people don't use ad blockers in 2019 I will never understand.

Use Brave web browser and enable ad and script blocking

@PappyHans Firefox. Follow the recommendations over at privacytools.io

It goes deeper than just plugins. Highly recommended.

Brave browser has a contentious history with ads.

Tracking is insidious and will only get worse.

Well handled by SO in my opinion.

I have used Firefox for a long time now because I feel that the Mozilla foundation is one of the last organizations that truly has my interests as a user at heart. Use Firefox with uBlock Origin and Firefox Focus for Android.

Apart from using their products am not affiliated to the Mozilla foundation in any way.
