It took some digging, but now fewer companies have access to my personal details.

Consider how much personal data you're trading for that convenience. It's not just about ads, it's about companies building detailed profiles of your life. That control is worth more than a few useful suggestions.

But honestly, I kinda like the tailored ads and app suggestions. It makes my phone feel more useful to me.

Honestly @rowan715, that's a solid point. Makes the whole thing feel less random and pretty smart. Tbh it's nice when stuff actually fits what you're into instead of just being noise.
