This is fine honestly. It could be so much worse.

Sucks, but at least you can remove them
True. Unfortunately I'm paranoid enough to have to create network captures until I believe it's actually off. And even then... I'm unable to prove it doesnt send off a package of data after a certain amount of time.
Development costs money 🤷 tbh I felt bad disabling it until I made a small donation myself
I get your point and I agree to an extend. However I disagree with any kind of tracking or analysis of user data. I'd rather pay money for software - no subscription. I'm ok paying for updates or upgrades now and then.
I'm also happy to donate (and did) but I'm also mad and paranoid enough to doubt such button actually turns this feature off.
Ya it sucks but as long as you can turn it off I can live with it. I wonder how much money they get from these?
Hasn’t it already been like this for a while? I remember Amazon and something else one day suddenly popped in mine.
