For those with similar problems, use pihole dns to effectively block all that bullshit

Also, do NOT buy a Samsung TV, it's the worst offender of them all. Nothing but bad experiences with itl

Don't buy Samsung anything. Their hardware is junk. They used to be okay, but they decided years ago that they want to be an advertising company, not a hardware company, so they push cheap crap that is used solely as data harvesting and ad delivery devices. Even their home appliances spy on you and break down a few years later.

You don't mind the bloatware software? Or the artificial limitations out on your phone? At least it's not an iPhone

Yeah the bloatware doesn't interfere with anything I do. I use some apps like I'm trash so I use a dating app, and I use a podcast app to listen to a show and a banking app.

The bloatware is just kind of in the background and I never fully install it when I get a new phone so it just stays in limbo.

Thats the way to do it if you can. Privicy is a human right that in its purest most extreme form, upheld with paranoya levels of prep. but most will find an amount where their happy.
