Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Protect My Choices is an extension for users seeking to opt out of interest-based advertising and to help ensure that their opt-out choices are protected. In one step it opts your browser out of interest-based advertising performed by companies participating in the industry self-regulatory programme for online advertising, and protects those opt-out choices by helping to prevent the accidental deletion of cookies that store your choices.

Some things you should know:

1. Protect My Choices applies to interest-based advertising by participating companies. Once you install this extension you will still receive online advertising from participating companies and the web sites you visit may still collect information for other purposes.

2. As more companies join the industry self-regulatory programme, their opt-outs will be added to Protect My Choices. As with all Chrome extensions, you’ll be asked to allow Chrome to update the extension to add new opt-outs. If you do not update the extension it will be disabled until you update it. You can confirm that your opt-outs have been set at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. You can always check the status of your extensions by clicking Extensions in the Window menu.

3. This extension and your opt-out choices apply only in this browser, so you should set your preferences for other browsers or computers you may use separately.

It does what it says, but it does slow down the system a fair bit and mine is already slow so will have to remove it. And that's even with the app that cleans your computer.

Honestly, I think I've gotten more ads having this thing than before. Also, the 100% CPU spike thing is also happening to me as well.

Runs CPU to 100%. Developer should have tested it a LITTLE before forcing the update on the public. This isn't some trivial, small-users-impacted bug.

The latest version (1.1.9) is buggy -- it uses 100% CPU and the JS console shows that it just keeps retrying the same operation over and over. Someone needs to put together a proper bug reporting system (i.e. create a GitHub or equiv project).

I am angry that I HAVE to have this app - it should be that advertisers have to have OUR permission to do this crud, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO OPT _OUT, THEY should have to ask MY permission to opt-in. It is a pain in the neck because it wants to store "cookies" for all their sites that I do not want to send me personalized ads from, I delete my entire browsing history , all cookies, everything every single NIGHT. I should not have to give THEM my valuable storage space in order to NOT get things I do NOT want!!!!!

The low ratings on this is just lack of understanding of it. Great app. Does exactly what it says. It is not an ad blocker. It just stops the end user from being followed and shown ads based on their movement and pages visited. It is a great app - must have.
