    Gaming is a great hobby and I had most of the consoles since the 80s to present day. PC is also great because next to being a PC, it can also emulate most of the consoles as well.
    I rather not choose because I like the games and every system had great titles.

    First of all, sorry for the late reply (I was on a vacation). Relevant example would be my brother's story, who is not a tech savy person at all. He bought a router for the family and (following the simple guide in the manual) set up dns filtering (mainly for the kids), which was completely ignored by this feature until I noticed it and set up things properly for them.
    I think it's safe to say that he would have never figured it out on his own, and that is what I was trying to suggest in my post.

    This is a feature which looks good but it is not (in my opinion), because it compromises network security by circumventing the rules of your local network.
    I understand that most people will only have a windows/mac computer on wifi and a router/modem coming with their ISP subscription and know nothing about privacy, but still... I just cannot accept its opt-out behavior. Perhaps if they would also include plugins like ublock-origin, decentraleyes, (etc.). into the installation package... but not like this.
    At least, there are good solutions out there to block this feature, so it's not the end of the world (I use unbound and Pi-hole for example).
