I'm from RIF. I'm on Jerboa and i still haven't tried the other ones because I've been doing other stuff. Lol
Fair!
Connect was my favorite until i realized its absolutely riddled with trackers. RIP. Currently trying Wefwef but ill probably come back to Jerboa.
Excited to try Boost when it releases.
I saw some post about the trackers but I didn't really understand what that meant. Can you explain?
Here you can see all the requests it is making.
https://i.ibb.co/grLNjy9/Screenshot-20230708-103114-Tracker-Control.jpgIt might be the worst app i have installed in this regard.
Im using the Tracker Control app to see (and block) trackers, ads, etc.
EDIT: Some say this is due to visiting links within the app and using the in-app browser. I will open links on the external browser and find out.
Edit2: I disabled the in-app browser and reset the Tracker Control findings but am still finding lots of trackers according to Tracker Control.
I guess I just don't understand what the image means or its significance. But yeah would be interested to know the results of your edit.
Ah, so some websites and apps will employ methods of data collection to learn things about you and then either use that information to feed you ads or sell it to other companies (or both). A lot of us prefer to keep what we can private and not be tracked so thoroughly.
Companies will build profiles on you that learn your likes, dislikes, political leanings, relationship status, gender, race, health issues, etc etc.Even if some people are fine with being tracked another issue is that many companies have poor security and your data can be stolen in breaches by bad actors or sold to bad actors.
