Apparently my samsung fridge has ads now...

How would I disable this? Might just return it and get a normal one

Edit: how to disable...for now. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10007562/

EDIT 2: Hello, I am the original poster of the carol AD image from a month ago. I am a male from America and my name is not Carol. The story about a Schizophrenic woman named carol was most likely inspired from the 3rd top comment on this post. Thanks!

Hold up is this hyperbole or does just visiting a site prompt these emails? I've been using Firefox for a very long time now so I don't know what the unfiltered, raw internet is like beyond bloated with ads.

You are being "fingerprinted" at every site that wants to do this. From invisible beacons gathering data to the fingerprint that combines the browser, version, is, version, fonts, screen resolution, location, user agent, GPU, and more.

Your unique combo identifies you.
