Are you saying you saw a notable difference in the ads you were shown after switching back to iOS?
- svachalek 6y agoIf you avoid tracking you will see a difference in ads but the most immediate confirmation is the number of captchas you run into, everywhere. Without tracking, everyone thinks you're a bot.
- linus_torvalds 6y agodoes this mean iOS is less user friendly on the web then? (obviously not their fault, just asking the logical question)
- my_usernam3 6y agoI think its less to do with iOS vs Andriod, or more to do with giving away your information. I'm sure there's ways to make your Andriod become equally as "secure" with the local data as iOS, but iOS makes it easy
- linus_torvalds 6y agodude...why am I being downvoted for asking a question? lol...
- bubblethink 6y agoYou are commenting in a fanboy thread. Don't take it personally. HN is not more "enlightened" than the rest of the internet when it comes to fanboy stuff.
- reaperducer 6y agoI think it was the way you phrased it. It sounds combative. If you had stated it more plainly, people probably would have left you alone. Also, people tend to get downvoted for starting or ending comments with "lol," as it shows a basic lack of respect for other people on HN.
- linus_torvalds 6y agoI would say my phrasing was misunderstood. I was genuinely curious...oh well... I'm doing that now because I've been downvoted. I didn't do that with my initial question which was the one that was downvoted.
