Anonymous, 13 Aug 2023Why? I have Xiaomi And I don't have ads.I don't think you know what ads are, for real
At first I never care much when people complain about ads but as time goes on (of which I use my phone regular than before and for that I never let my phone run out of data) I knew what others were after, how annoying this things are.
It like they even get updated with time to cross your way in a more annoying means and moment you didn't expect f*k to pop in.

    Android combating ads is like bees fighting against honey. At the end of the day, the small app developers will lose more revenue from ads while the key players will find ways to work around this.

On every hardware it runs like crap if u compare it to.the other oses. Android uses linux kernel that s why was so trash in his prime days and that s why it can t beat ios on optimisation

          Well honestly loved good old chrome, youtube and android where wasnt any ads at all.
          This ads are jst burden for customer and most of them skip them anyway.
          Love when accidentaly click on something and virus or something worse will pop up on my screen telling my device is in danger.
          This happens even in sites where you does not expect aything like this.
