Sync is crazy!
  • You know where those trackers mostly come from? From the linked websites you visited in the posts.

    If you change the Settings shortcut: Link handling > Default browser to "open externally" that should give you a more accurate picture of the trackers included in Sync. By default it will load the websites inside the app, which will give an inaccurate picture of the tracking taking place.

  • Aggressive much?
  • I've got nothing to add to the ddg discussion but today is the first time I've heard of ZoneAlarm. But I saw a post to a Firefox community about the latest update that included support for it and a couple people mentioned it. Just an amusing coincidence

  • Aggressive much?
  • Honestly, I would suggest NextDNS to block ads within the app, so maybe you wouldn’t have to pay for blocking through Sync.

  • Aggressive much?
  • These were the only (tracking) connections sync made in the past hour.

    For the past 24 hours for 2k requests, it apparently made 64 requests for ads and 6 requests for trackers.

    I'm not saying you are wrong or anything, but the stats may be more nuanced than you think so.

  • Is there any other reddit client forking for lemmy ?
  • Yea, over on [email protected] there's a list. Sync and Slide are both confirmed.

  • FYI if you want to ensure the community link works on all instances, try to use the following link format for communities.

    [/c/[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
    

    That way the link is relative to the current instance, and every user will be able to access, subscribe and participate from their own instance instead of being sent to another instance's website.
