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 program 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:
* 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.
* As more companies join the industry self-regulatory program, 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.
* This extension and your opt-out choices apply only in this browser, so you should separately set your preferences for other browsers or computers you may use.
Méfiance ! A l’installation, par défaut, il autorise voire implémente tous les sites dont souhaiterait la disparition !
“Opt out requests for 35 participating companies were successful” …out of 114. “Opt-out requests for 79 participating companies were not completed.”
It’s the same kind of result every time I update choices. The numbers vary slightly but 2/3 of the so-called ” participating companies ” are not really participating.
I have noticed no improvement with it installed. My best guess is that the so-called ” participating companies ” are not advertising very much, at least not at the sites I visit.
After 3 attempts, again, for the THIRD update, it still failed on 2/3 of the companies. I don’t have the time or patience for this nonsense.
=>Removed.
Just doesnt work, a waste of time. I still need to go in an manually check all the time.
Внимательно почитайте обзор это не блокировщик рекламы.
This is great!!!!
I hope this extension blocks all of these advertisers that it claims to. I will have to wait and see to test it. Will update my review in a few weeks.
这干嘛用的?
me molestan los anuncios me quitan tiempo.
application supports
This app is only to protect your opt-out choices from YourAdChoices.com. This itself is not an ad blocker. This is supposed to help you maintain your targeted advertising opt-out cookies when you clear your cookies in a browser. Again, this can not, does not, and will not block a single ad. It will protect your targeted advertising preferences should you clear your cookies and start from scratch.
It is so amazing

Not working at all.
Mandated by both US and EU federal law, excellent application to keep updated.
Never had a problem and it does block most ads from reoccurring…I recheck my preferences every couple months because some ad companies reinstate the ads. No problem, I just update my choices.
Acá no me cabe que google use mi data porque me limita a la parte de mundo que frecuento. Vamos a ver si no es demasiado mundo igual.
Doesn’t work for their own ads
Like everyone else. Didn’t do a good enough job. And it seemed I was getting MORE ads from Amazon and I now can’t even disable this!
Absolument inutile. Les publicités sont toujours ciblées malgré l’extension activée. C’est d’autant plus idiot que si j’achète un billet d’avion, j’ai plein de pubs pour des voyages APRÈS, alors que j’ai déjà mon billet.
Does not work.
USELESS
It’s stable and functions as intended, but it’s not actually effective because too many advertisers do not honour the opt-out. End result is – still getting loads of creepy stalking going on in the adverts I see on-line. So I use a total ad blocker instead.
Not sure that this App works. Still getting directed Ads from Amazon!
Made ads problems even worse!! Some take over page! FORGET IT PEOPLE!
