  1. Google uses cache file to show adds… And it shows adds on whaetever we search before visiting any page…

    Is it true??

    • It’s not cache, actually. Cache are files stored on our computer to help our browser loads pages faster. They are never stored on Google’s server. Google only uses our browsing history to make a prediction on things we like. Based on this prediction, they show ads to us. It can be at anytime, not just before visiting a page.

      This whole process is why I personally don’t let Google keep my browsing history. I use VPN Asia (https://vpn.asia) to keep Google away from using my data. So should you.
