I can’t stress strongly enough how badly I am opposed to ads.

Not much to be done with a work machine, but for personal use, I believe the more people moving away from Windows the better.

Microsoft believes if they worsen the enshitification of Windows 10, more people will just upgrade to 11 quicker.

I decided to move to Linux and my other family went with Macbooks.

The best I've got is, it's complicated.

This should be my line!

In truth, if I am captain everyone is fubar!

they don't care and can't be bothered to look for a better way.

This implies they are fine with it by tacit agreement.

My jaw dropped when I saw that. Not sure how many people are aware if it.

Samsung is also trying to make its ACR data more valuable for ad targeting, including through a deal signed in December with analytics firm Experian.

This should add to their profits.

People deserve better and should expect/demand better.

Overall my opinion is irrelevant, however, I think there is a huge difference in knowing a person votes vs how a person votes. The how should not be public, imo.

Average users will not have the knowledge or patience for work arounds.

Imo, the larger problem seems to be the majority of users appear to be fine with ads and data collection just to watch a movie or series.

There used to be a good one called Tabliss. Not sure if it is still available. Very customizable.
