Aside from firmware updates, I don’t know why anyone uses smart tv apps. 99% of the time they are terrible and buggy. Get an apple tv or shield, or even a fire stick. I’d love to find some kind of private tv device (at least the device itself, I know the apps are the data siphons) if anyone has suggestions.
I did use pihole to block it. Sadly, not everyone have the technical knowledge to do so.
That’s why I’d recommend apple products even though they’re not that great.

For tech savvy people it’s no brainer to get apple tv, etc…
They issue is with normal people who know nothing about data collected and mostly the smart tv apps does the job for them.
I’m now working on a mini pc with debian as os and adblock and sponsorblock to enjoy my Saturday afternoon.
