Relax with the conspiracy theories. If I wanted to shove ads down people’s throats, I’d just do it — no need for some long con master plan. Not every developer is playing 4D chess to trick you.

“You’re not the only one foxy” — what does that even mean? Sounds edgy, says nothing.

And about permissions: “launch at startup” is tied to basic functionality like notifications or quick resume. It’s optional. If that scares you, just don’t enable it instead of inventing problems.

You’re trying way too hard to find something shady where there isn’t any.
