Been using Ali express, it's the same shit, but generally you can just ignore it, the popup ads for some sale or other are just annoying.

And if you are using the app then disable notifications!

I used to have the app but it's half a gigabyte, slow and filled with ads

Mine currently has 700 mb and 90 mb background network usage, which I quickly disabled.

Temu also uses background data!
