About this tag
The webOS tag on WindowsForum.com covers LG's smart TV platform, with a strong focus on the controversy surrounding Microsoft Copilot integration. Recent threads detail how a December 2024 webOS update pinned a Copilot shortcut to LG TV home screens, initially unremovable for many users. This sparked debates over device ownership, privacy, and AI control in consumer hardware. LG later promised a delete option via firmware version 33.30.92, though some users reported the tile could only be hidden. The tag also includes a review of the LG OLED65G5, which highlights webOS AI features and 4K gaming capabilities. Overall, the tag reflects user backlash against forced software and the evolving role of AI in smart TVs.
