Today I was watching a few YouTube videos about groundwork with horses. First time I did that. Yes, I was logged in.
Later today, I hopped on Amazon to track one of my packages. And in my suggestions, there were horse grooming kits, halters and the like, even though I had never before looked for things like these on there.
My mail addresses are different on the two places, and so are, of course, my passwords. I am on Linux with Firefox, uBlock etc. So this must be an incredible coincidence, a miracle, mind-reading, or maybe witchcraft?
I wonder what I could tweak to make things like this happen less in future. I am thinking of adding a Pi-hole to my router, yet I am no longer so sure, if it would help?

I’m going through that right now, definetely worth it, but it can be quite a job on some devices, have a spare phone ready when you start :)
Yeah I am thinking about waiting until I get a new one for that specific reason.
