I use a Nothing phone, but they do have some weird ad-based stuff that's currently disabled by default, and could be made the default later.

I've had no problem with their products otherwise.

What do you mean? I don't see any of this in the 2a.

It's a fairly recent addition using software updates, and will start being integrated on the 3a lite.

I've got a 3a and it doesn't have it right now.

Aw come on. I looked so long until I settled with the 2a only to research again like crazy when I need the next phone. Great move bloating your product that's supposed to be less bloated.
