I haven't checked in a while, but the netflix app might contact third party domains.
replyI think other streaming apps definitely do.
Apple does too. I don't know about the TV, but a vanilla safari has a bunch of default favorites, and when you open a browser window it contacts each one of them and sets cookies. It also contacts google by default for searching, character by character quick search completion and on and on.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to buy products without all this nonsense?

replySimilarly to the parent comment, I am quite comfortable with Safari sending my search query to Google when I perform a Google search.
I’m not sure how that’s nonsense.
by default is the key. You can choose duck duck go, but you have to navigate through settings -> apps -> safari first.
replyalso you cannot enable private browsing by default. You have to turn it on manually, and updating safari will reset all that.
