Ah well goodluck google. I haven't seen a single ad from past 6-7 years. Next DNS on my router, Linux mint with Firefox (ublock origin) and same for android.

Nice! I do pretty much the same except for the dns part. I'll look into it.

Having said that, I've always said that we should be able to purchase dumb TVs, and when people say "just don't connect it to the net," they're missing the point, because they're still enabling these companies (this is not directed at you specifically. It's just an argument I keep hearing.)
