Inb4:
Less privacy features.
More ads!

Do those new features involve even more ways to violate the privacy of people subscribing to Samsung TVs?

PiHole made my Samsung TV so much faster (probably 30%), since it no longer loaded ads for shows into the app bar (they don't appear like ads, but they are).

It also broke stuff (like info for broadcast TV channels, and the Samsung TV channels, which are internet sourced), but that was easily fixed by disabling those filters.
