    Yep, that's what we want, more ways and reasons to be tracked for the purpose of inundating us with advertising. If Samsung gets away with it, other Cell brands won't be far behind.

    No cell phone in 2025? I guess they'll have to continue spamming you on the old PC.

    Surely you're picking up some tracking cookies? Short of using your PC offline it's almost impossible not to because the choice is to use blockers which can make it a pain the @$$ access some sites.

    I only use the cell phone to make long distance calls. Once in a while I might check on-line with it for store sales since most stores don't provide paper ads any more.

    I use my cell for calling, limited texting, maps, item pricing, and playing Solitaire while I'm sitting in a waiting room.
