I complained about this to “support” a few days ago. A full screen ad before the home screen with the top 1/3 an ad and the bottom 1/3 ads.
Straight up told them I will pick another manufacturer this weekend.
I’m burned out on protecting myself from smart devices. Maybe just a dumb screen this round.
Edit: I have every single privacy setting set to off, but some update added a new category and defaults to on. Don’t know how long Amazon has been spying on me or what they took.
My device has autoplay off already. It may have stopped a full screen video ad, but there is a full screen picture ad instead.
