I remember a few years ago analyzing a modern Samsung phone's web traffic. It had by far the most ad-related and monetizing connections out of any other phone I've ever seen. And they were part of "necessary" functions, so you couldn't just block that traffic.

Samsung has great tech, but I avoid because it's so bloated and abusive.

My Samsung phone has Netflix, Spotify, and some Microsoft stuff installed, but nothing from Meta.
