this is what i see as the main problem in your post (but i can see it's mostly copy/paste from the original article): [quote] Google will make the ads you see (and no matter what you do, you’ll see ads), Google will make things really personal.

i am not sure why you mention ad blockers and anti-tracking tools here. this probably just confuses people. this is not about the ads you see. this is about the ads other people see. that means for example you write an article about how much you like WindowBlinds. then somebody else might see an ad for WindowBlinds plus a link to your article. or just a simple mention like "DrJBHL and 12 other people like WindowBlinds"

there is no kik Messenger for pcs as you can read on their official website. but there is a demand for it, so there are a lot of malware websites just waiting for people like you, so be careful. the only way to get this running is using the original Android app with the Bluestacks Android emulator. the best messenger for her is the one her friends are already using. not sure what you mean with "the one Win8 has built in".
