Still no option to filter for no ads and no in-app payments in their app store.
Honestly I have stopped using the play store for my pixel. But it's also a bigger trend of no longer allowing apps on my phone other than essentials. Fuck these leaches.
I understand why, but I in no way agree or think it's good or acceptable. They're mainly an ad company, so giving users the option to filter out apps with things they earn money from doesn't make sense for them. It's shitty, but logical.
There are third-party apps for the playstore, maybe one or several might have that option? Only one I know the name of just from memory is Aurora, check it out and see if it has those options.
