      Their TV’s are legitimately incredible. Just don’t give it the password to your wifi and you’ll never have to worry.

        Or give it the password but also use pihole. Then you’ll have zero ads whatsoever snd you can still use the native streaming apps.

          A viable strategy as well. I have no need of the smart features, so a wifi free life for my tv is great. If ever I need those features, a pihole is a great suggestion.
