imho adb works wonders debloating many smartTVs. mine shows zero ads outside of commercial tv breaks. not even suggestions for amazon shows or anything in the dashboard. smarttube,kodi etc are just great!
You've gotta realise the average joe doesn't know how to do any of that stuff though. Even trying to explain it to most people is too much. The frustration I find is, most people don't actually want to learn, and they'd rather stay ignorant, and basically take pride in it.
kinda true. wonder if this is sth. that changed or if it has been like this since ever amd we are just getting older so more ignorance.
People don’t even like ad block on their computers because it doesn’t look right
In past generations they would use half their monitor for toolbars
