Reviews of protect my choices:
Tech Queen
September 19th, 2022
Doesn't actually do any thing...and I went through the headache of doing all the extra items required before hand on this one, as well as two others -IBA opt out (google) and Goggle Analytics opt out. to ensure that once the exention was loaded it sites would respect things. But nope. Neither one of these do anything. However I found one that DOES work - Ghostery - It Blocks Ads, trackers, you name it perfectly. Even hyperlinks from pages I normally use are sent to a Ghostery page telling you that this is a redirect and may not be safe etc....Didnt expect that. Best thing is when you can click on the extension settings of Ghostery you can SEE the details of what is being blocked--right down to the name, url etc.... Of course you can also edit settings per site as needed. It was free, but at this point I will buy the full pro version. Since it's the first extension that actually protects tracking, ads, and all that garbage that is all over webpages. Amusing part? The stuff that this "Protect my choices" was supposed to block or protect? Was in the Ghostery items. LOL Even after I had specifically stated to be opted out of all that stuff.

I find it really doesn't work as advertised
John Spalvins

Perhaps I don't understand what this extension is actually supposed to do, but I use on average 8-12 browsers from Google across 5 devices (all synced) and still get interest-based ads even though I have it checked to opt-out in my settings in my profile, and every single time I update anything, unsync/resync to my account, essentially make any change to any one of my browsers, besides finding that my account "mysteriously" has opt-out disabled once again, Google Ad Settings (YourAdChoices/IBA) seems to think that all 126 or 128 companies listed seems to think that I wish to "Customize Ads for My Browser". As an experiment, I've gone in to the Ad settings on every single browser on a very regular basis, and most of the time, I'm "magically" unchosen to opt-out once again. Personally uBlock Origin id the only solution I've discovered that has an actual effect on my browsing experience with Chrome.
