My iPad is completely silenced, but also has no ad blockers. It’s meant to stay a reading device for the bedroom, and to not become a browsing device. The unfiltered internet is downright unbearable. Ads, notifications, modals. Reading a paragraph of text without looking at ads or surrendering your privacy is a challenge. Now the devices themselves are getting so needy! Consoles are the most obvious example. I got a Switch as a gift, and it shows ads every time I turn it on. Operating systems embed feeds wherever they please. It feels like we are not the customers of the products we but, but a resource to be mined.
