I want to know what is causing a certain ad to keep popping up in Chrome [closed]

So, recently I did some Googling on Chrome, looking for a certain product. Since then, I am being inundated on Chrome with the same ad over and over. I am trying to delete the particular cookie or whatever is stored so that this ad goes away. It is annoying because it constantly has motion and stays stuck to the top half vertical margin area in my window.



Here's what I've done so far:




  • Searched SU for this topic

  • Googled this topic

  • Gone in to cookies and deleted many cookies that pertain to this company's name

  • Cleared my entire cache from the last 4 weeks (I searched for the pertaining product just a week ago

  • Closed and restarted Chrome


So, is there a way I can find the source of this ad? I mean, can I determine somehow which cookie is telling websites to run this ad? Or is there some other data somewhere in my browser that causes this ad to constantly run?

    If it's always the specific ad that you have shown, the solution might be to wait until November 23.

    Use Chromium instead of Chrome. No Google data-mining your stuff and feeding you ads.

How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format.

QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

Image
1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range.

Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
