There is a point that the browser apps take a large number of permissions, but compared to apps, websites take much less of your data. That's one of the reasons why so many websites like reddit push you to use the app on mobile.
- doc_gunthrop 6y ago> That's one of the reasons why so many websites like reddit push you to use the app on mobile. The Yelp website is one of the biggest offenders in this regard. If you're not viewing it in desktop mode then be prepared to get redirected to the Play store any time you tap on any link.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoI treat yelp and Pinterest links like links on [insert sketchy site].
- brnt 6y agoThis is why I don't install apps, research shows they the best and fastest way to hand over your data to many unknown parties. It is why the official appstores (Googles or Apples) are fundamentally untrustworthy. They spread malware as a matter of course.
