Been using Ali express, it's the same shit, but generally you can just ignore it, the popup ads for some sale or other are just annoying.

I used to have the app but it's half a gigabyte, slow and filled with ads

Mine currently has 700 mb and 90 mb background network usage, which I quickly disabled.

Temu also uses background data!
