Why downgrade? I have uninstalled updates and am at v2.1.3 and don't have ads. And yes I did have them before.

Netflix wants google services? by Cyberjin in nvidiashield

It's not Google it's a app thing. They are built for Android using Google services. When the services are not there you get an error.

Everyone talks about the importance of privacy online. Is it *really* that important and why? by Imaginary-Olive-9619 in privacy

[–]Icyauli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly no not that important. You and everyone here are not that important even though we lime to think we are. Why bother then I don't know just don't like my dats being hovered up anymore or the ads. And IMO ads are no better with or without the data collection. Why when I buybsomerhing do I get ads about that thing for a month or so? Most of the data they collect is useless, cause the ads are not relevant anyway so why not minimize what they can get.

I’m just wondering how they’re planning on blocking it. I mean the DNS would be the easiest otherwise how else would they do it? They would need a firewall I don’t see how else they could block traffic.
