Depending on the type of ads being served that cross-profile-pollination could lead to info leakage and problematic and/or weird situations. It makes me want to be able to build a fake persona rather than a ghost/anonymous profile
You're assuming competence that isn't there. It's a shared ip address, there is still plenty of tracking that is dumb enough to assume that it means that you're the same person and that gets thrown into her 'unique fingerprint'.
I'm not sure who gets the worst deal from tracking, the companies buying ads or us having to see them.
I can’t seem to find the name, but someone built exactly this: an agent that sits on your computer and generates noise. Visiting random web pages, performing random searches, etc. You’d then get random, non-personalized ads.
That said, I have heard a few times comments mentioning that it's easy to filter out (from the ad provider side.) I hope not, but if it is, I would only hope someone smarter than I would send a PR. :)
