Re: You ain’t seen nothing yet
I am that old
I'm almost that old and I too don't want to see any ads at all. If I want to buy something, I research what I want to buy, look for the best[1] prices and then buy it. I certainly don't buy stuff that some rules engine thinks I might like based of the almost-certainly-illegal scavenging of my viewing habits.
BTW - I have an Amazon Fire tablet and discovered that, by judicious use of adb[2], that the various intrusive bits can be disabled.. I also disable their shell - which leaves me free to use Nova shell instead.
In that state, it's a pretty nice tablet and ebook reader (fbreader - I heart you - especially when linked to Calibre on my Mac).
[1] Not always the cheapest - the sales backup and general principles of the company involved also matter
[2] adb shell pm disable-user [appname] does the trick.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
