Besides Chrome, Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative is on Android to let apps show you relevant ads in a more private manner. The beta started earlier this year, and Google is now prompting more users about it with new Ad privacy settings.

    Speaking generally about ads, the issue is that people (a) don’t like ads, but (b) also don’t like paying for things that could be ad-supported. And the money for things that are ad-supported is going to come from one place or another, or they won’t be done.

    Wanting to get rid of ads is a legitimate preference – but I’m saying that that probably comes with paying for something that wasn’t paid for before.

      My experience with so many things starting as pay instead of ads, but then ads being added over time, is why I reject ads outright. I don’t trust companies to not double dip.

      That said, I do pay for streaming services to avoid ads and refuse to pay for the ones that still have ads after paying.
