    “Simply find the registry value and know to change it from 0 to 2 to turn off this specific recurring ad on your own machine.” No thanks, I can actually just begin adless and remain adless with one simple trick.

      they always leave off that registry change gets reverted on the next update and it’s now a new change you have to do to turn off the new ad showing up. I also don’t need to change my country location to uninstall a built in browser. Also do you think the registry is just something everyone knows how to use. It’s cryptic as hell and I know they are following a guide on some site. At least when i change a config file there are comments above the change most of the time not cryptic dword codes.

        I was about to object that config files are also cryptic but you have a hell of a point that they contain comments. They are also usually are set up in a way to retain the contents across distro updates.

          yep by no means are they perfect but they are not hostile and that’s fine by me.
