    Good points.

    Similar to the other reply - I haven’t moved to a privacy OS on Android yet because of money.

    My fancy Samsung is not supported by those OSs (yet).

      That’s entirely reasonable. You can still block most ads if you want to:

      • You can use a web browser that supports extensions. That includes Firefox and its various forks, and perhaps surprisingly, Microsoft Edge. uBlock Origin is still available for both, despite Edge being Chromium-based and Google trying to cripple adblockers there.
      • You can use web, rather than app versions of most services so that they’re covered by the browser’s adblocker.
      • You can use DNS-based adblocking to reduce ads where you need/want to use apps that display ads.
