Yeah but not Google. Just get Chinese, they won't be able to do anything to you even if info is collected
Or just don't buy products from companies that don't respect you...
Buying chinese is like going to the guy who beats you less because he spending half the time at his other girlfriend's house.
All companies resell from china, just with added tracking. Avoid ads and added tracking by buying direct
There are better options.
Like what?
Don't buy it... These trash devices are absolutely a discretionary spend
I don't. Never used it In my life.
I even switched my android TV to alternative launcher because I don't want Google peddling shit
What launcher?
