Happens a lot when you talk about burgers or pizza and you get an ad for whatever you're talking about.
You can say that's coincidence, and yes these chains do a lot of ads.
Then one day I'm looking at food to order (I have all the ad/tracking blockers) while my GF is on her laptop doing something completely different.
I mention how bad restaurant X is. (there's only one, not a chain)
And in 2 minutes she gets the ad for that particular restaurant.
Really, history has shown over and over that you can't trust tech companies.
