Not just pc's. More and more electronics are going that way. Two weeks ago I was at a friend and they activated their Google TV for the first time. Bam first thing you see is ads for Amazon prime. They didn't bat an eye even though they just paid €80 to be shown ads in their living room. It's only going to get worse. We really need to grow the community to open source firmware for all electronics. (not just because of the ads tho)
God, the modern Google TV launcher is so fucking ass. Ads every fucking where.
Last week I was setting up my box and the first thing it showed me was a Netflix ad that I think contained spoilers for Squid Game??? (I don't watch that show but it looked like a serious spoiler)
Get your friend Projectivity Launcher.
They probably don't care enough. I've talked about blocking YouTube ads before and they zoned out after exactly 2 seconds. So I'm not going to bother.
I use flauncher myself, but i will check projectivity launcher out sometime.
Don't know if I'm horrified or jealous
To be fair they are less annoying than the ones you have to watch on YouTube, etc. I was mostly annoyed by how incredibly slow they made the interface.
