    If you’re sacrificing your personal enjoyment of your phone for privacy, you’re either a secret agent or you’re overly paranoid.

    Most of us are running adblocking at the DNS level

    To actually address this, pretty much every privacy improvement you can make on your phone, your computer, or your everyday life comes at the cost of convenience. It’s not impossible to see usability benefits along with privacy ones, like the ad blocking you mentioned, but that’s the exception and not the rule.
