One shouldn't need to change the OS on one's laptop or phone to get a private, ad free, not actively user hostile, experience on one's own device.
It is essential that one can do these things - I have, and haven't looked back - but if it is necessary, then there is a failure in regulation and enforcement.
One should not need the prophylactic of numerous add-ons and a careful choice of browser to be able to surf the web.
And thank goodness for indie sites and blogs, especially those with RSS feeds, which have eschewed the user hostile design decisions which leads to this.
@neil one should not have to run pihole to make you TV usable without ads.
One should not have to carefully create firewall rules to stop your TV reporting what you are watching.
You should not need to agree to an abusive Eula just to continue to use the TV you already own
