I've been getting some adverts blatantly intended for others on the same network (static IP in this case).

Luckily nothing embarrassing - just bathroom fittings in this case, which I know they've been looking at and I haven't.

Said other people won't have been using facebook on their PCs.

Is this 'known'? Seems a bit concerning for "privacy" and so on!

Haven't noticed adverts anywhere else, but for the most part my browsing is ad free (I only run FBP one on browser.)
