You will be lured into turning on ad personalization with the logic that since you are going to see ads anyway, why not see what's relevant to you. I have been personalised ads on Android and *it only makes it difficult to distinguish ads* from actual content.

I have disabled ad personalization on all places I could and my eyes/brain has gone back to ignoring or at least quickly recognising ad from actual content.
