Gaming is actually pretty great on Linux now thanks to Proton. I still use Windows for games usually, but of the ones over tried in Linux, I haven't had any issues.

No. Sandboxed apps only prevent some fingerprinting, but notably provides a ‘reasonable budget’ for data that can be gathered.
Sandboxes absolutely prevent all cross-app tracking. The app doesn't have access to anything outside the sandbox.
What you said about the advertising ID is true and is basically what I said, but disabling the advertising ID does not stop profiling or fingerprinting, just limits the most obvious applications of it.
What useful tracking do you think is still happening when you take these precautions?
Using a VPN is a start, but we’re comparing the privacy of Android and iOS. You can use a VPN on both. iOS includes an opt-in pseudo-vpn baked into the OS with private relay, for $0.99 per month. And besides, using a VPN does nothing to block the the fingerprinting done by native apps.
So then what difference does it make? You can use whatever VPN you want.
Are you sure you work in security? Like, mall security?
Yes. Stick to the topic. The ad-hominem is just childish.
I do too, but the multi-pane makes up for it. Devs have said a "compact" mode is in the works.
First one that looks decent
I like Thunder best
Have you tried Alexandrite?
I've found Thunder to be the best so far. But I'm holding out for Boost.
Yeah, I'll likely use Boost. It was the best reddit app.
Boost is IMO the best Android Reddit app and they have a Lemmy version coming soon..
Personally, I like Thunder
No. What they've done is made a local Ad ID that can be used locally on your device without interacting with another app. But you can disable it.
Plus, on Android you can literally completely sandbox apps: https://www.gtricks.com/android/how-to-sandbox-android-apps-for-privacy/
Or use a VPN if you're worried about IP/Device tracking.
I'm just going to keep using Thunder until Boost comes out. Sync feels a little clunky.
