    Can you recommend a manufacturer who doesn’t display ads? It doesn’t help to single out one company if they’re all doing it.

      I’ve bought 2 Sony android TVs in the last 5 years (one 5 years ago and one a couple of weeks ago), both are connected to the internet. Neither shows ads.

      What? The device has very little to do with ads. I block ads on Android with ddg app privacy protection and Firefox + ublock origin

        Your entire post is calling out Samsung, but don’t smart TV manufacturers show ads?

          How was I supposed to know what kind of device you meant? You weren’t specific at all. Literally buy any other TV and then just never connect the WiFi. Done.

      My old 2015 Android TV doesn’t. Neither does my LG. But the LG could be because I always disagree to all consent message or because I push all DNS traffic through AdGuard and NextDNS.
