Not to beat a dead horse, but now the Trojan ads basically have a picture of a guy’s you know what (including testicles) with a quote that says “You won’t even know it’s on.”
Can we complain to Google about this now, or is there anything you can do? Please?!?!?!
Just don’t pay attention to the ads that you don’t like.
I haven’t seen any of the Trojan ads myself. Google ads tend to be targeted ads so ask yourself what sites have you been to that may cause Google to think you’d be interested in these types of ads. Remember it’s fairly easy for an advertiser to check the cookies on your machine without your knowledge.
Feeling very left out because I don’t see the ad…and hoping that after I post this it’ll magically appear Seriously, clear your cache and cookies and see if it still comes up. Don’t worry- we won’t tell anybody if it worked
Im getting these ad’s at different FBO computer that have security on them. So I don’t think someones cookies or recently visited web sites plays a roll here.
Unfortunately a perfectly viable option to prevent the offending ads coming in on a computer displayed to the public. I don’t care to see 'em on my own home computer so I do use the firefox add in. Why is this?
I like to show my niece and nephew my past flight tracks and they shouldn’t be subjected to such ads at a tender age of 9 and 10. Let me save the birds and the bees lesson for the parents to give.
That addin speeds up my surfing experiences as a side benefit.
Now, if there was only a way to gleen out those offending ads and allow audience related ads (such as aviation themed ads), I’d tweak that addin to allow ads to come on on Flight Aware
I think quite a few people are losing the fact that the people bringing up concerns about the ad content are displaying Flight Aware in a public place such as airports. They want to keep tact in what they display. The answer that this website is free doesn’t change the lack of tact in the ads being displayed.
Unless a person as an IQ of a rock (or a politician - same thing!), I don’t think anyone is gong to get upset at a person over an ad that shows up on his computer that he has not control over.
I estimate at least 90% of the ads I get are aviation related. Of the remaining 10%, many are travel related time, the ads I receive on my computer at home and at work are aviation related.
You people receiving the Trojan ads: How often does this happen? I have the feeling it doesn’t happen that often and you are making a mountain out of a molehill.
I do not believe that people should be using ad blockers when using FlightAware. Ads are a major source of revenue for FlightAware. If you block ads here then you are, as far as I’m concerned, a freeloader.
Blocking of ads is not against the terms of use. However, I feel that it should be.
David, the lawyers we all love so much have proven in court that the mere fact one doesn’t have control over what is displayed on an employee’s computer is not proof against a finding of sexual harassment.
Like you, I weep for what our legal system has become.

I love the legal system. It’s going to buy me a nice car and a nice house and many toys… and alow me to take that drop in pay a legacy carrier FO can expect the first year.
The frame with the balls in it is the frame in question. You took the screenshot a second too late. Try having the owner of a 10 million dollar airplane in the room when your talking about upgrading to a 30 million dollar airplane in the room, and that catches his eye. Perception is reality: “This company uses a bottom of the barrel flight tracking system, so how do they maintain my aircraft” (those are not my thoughts)
