But when you set up things like AdGuard at home, you’ll quickly see that most people are probably not nearly paranoid enough. I work in IT, and even others in IT that should in theory know better think I’m being too paranoid to use various protections when using the 'net.
I don’t even have that many IoT devices in my house or enshittified products like Alexa, etc…and something like 20+% of DNS queries are blocked in my house…
I have Samsung in my house and of course they were known for being the worst/earliest offender when it came to “smart TVs”, but they are hardly the only one. Certainly you can do a lot to block them, but I am quite sure most people never even bother.
Not too long ago.
