And their app is just a wrapper for a webpage anyway.

[–] serenissi 13 points 3 days ago

It is a wrapper where content blockers can't be installed, unlike a browser.

Except now the app pushes ads to you through notifications.

[–] dual_sport_dork 83 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And it wants permissions to:

  • Camera
  • Microphone
  • Location
  • Media
  • Contacts
  • Call History
  • Read SMS Messages
  • Make and Receive Calls

...And will throw an absolute hissy fit and refuse to load without explanation if you deny any of them.

U forgot about search history. It's one of the most outrageous things that I cannot think of a legitimate use of it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Call history or what do you mean?

AND harvests more data from your phone!

Doesn't matter, the app has access to a unique device ID as well as an advertising id that the os provides free of charge without any user prompt! And that happens on both iOS and Android! How magnificent

[–] KuroiKaze 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You know you can just delete your advertising ID on Android without an issue

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I shouldn't have to do that.

On my phone (Pixel 8 running Android 15):

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Privacy controls -> Ads -> Delete advertising ID

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

On mine it just has "get new advertising ID"

EDIT: apparently this means I didn't have one

[–] Machinist 1 points 3 days ago

Nifty. Just deleted mine.

[–] Lydia_K 7 points 5 days ago

Came here to say this exact thing.

[–] PP_BOY_ 42 points 5 days ago

[–] daggermoon 12 points 4 days ago

[–] MidsizedSedan 1 points 3 days ago
