There are targeted ads, and then there are invasive ads. The tremendous intrusion of privacy falls more in to the invasive bucket.
If you like ads, maybe there should be a portal you go to see ads just for you- if you'd like to surrender all your data to have someone else tell you what you should buy. Having ads be part of browsing experience is just an awful user experience.
