I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Na just throw ads into system logs. Or do what Ubuntu does and throw an advert every time you run apt upgrade.

Have you tried installing any packages from NPM recently?

I think that is the better case. That is just NPM aggregating the metadata. There are lots of packages that print their own ad.
