What do you mean? Im out of the loop, I havent seen ads in years.
Same here. It's crazy looking at other peoples browsers and realising they don't have an adblocker the amount of ads they put up with is insane.
A brand written on a product is an ad. Let alone the ads everywhere in public. Acknowledgimg that you're seeing an ad makes you less likely to be sub consciously influenced ('brand awareness'). Pretending you're immune might make you more susceptible.
You know what i mean. Dont be that person.
With how unessecarily smug you were being, I honestly wasn't sure.
Well, im sorry then if i come across as smug. OP just post a meme something about seeing ads without any context, i asked about it because i havent seen one, you know, targeted ads, pop up ads and the like.
If i offend you in anyway, well, im sorry.
aaaaaand that will change!
Would be helpful if you explain what is happening.
when you have ads on your phone, it's on some websites you browse, or some apps, right? well, what of your system had the ads? android doesn't do it YET, but it might come.
Nah, like i said i havent seen ads in ages. I dont use google certified devices. 99% of my apps are foss. I doubt that gonna change anytime soon. Honestly, I dont know what youre on about.
yeaj, if you use something AOSP based you should be fine, until they find a way to prevent people from using AOSP. I'm on calyxos with only open source apps but I'll soon switch to Chimera Linux.
