Google's own apps are adware. Gmail injects ads that look like unread email into your inbox to try to trick you into clicking them.

    I was gonna say, what even is "adware" in an ecosystem where every app ships annoying or intrusive ads?

    Similarly, what is a "trojan" when those ads submit your data, too? None of this is in the interest of the user...
