Scary Google ads

I was recently on my cellphone talking to a truck driver. He is delivering some equipment but will be delayed because of transmission issues.

I am now getting pop up Truck Transmission repair ads.

I was looking into a smartphone which is not Apple or Android.
(If anyone is going to get wealthy off my personal information, it should be me..)

There are a few linux based phones:

This one (pricey and backordered) looked nice as well and uses pureos:

android was born out of linux, iirc.

Windoez fone. There are some good Nokia's on fleabay, or the last big win-splash, the HP X3 Elite (2560x1440 Amoled screen, awesome battery life...)
