- cute_boi 5y agoThe privacy invasions by the app have become egregious these days. We need an app-based firewall and we should be able to filter out which domain it can connect to. I don't understand why should bank apps, online education app, games, etc send data to Facebook or google 24x7. It’s not just privacy but it also consumes consumers’ data which are generally expensive and consume battery too much. Apparently, this may be the reason why Reddit, etc doesn’t even allow mobile browsers and forces you to use the app. The unfortunate thing is andriod is made by Google which has 0 incentive to fix this. And the app duckduckgo etc spawns VPN which generally makes everything slow idk why. It also seem to consume too much battery that I had to remove it and just rely on piblock and hosts file based blocking.

- coffeeling 5y agoEven if it doesn't earn money, analytics can genuinely help to make a better product. Unfortunately the popular analytics tools are highly centralized and made by pretty much evil entities.
- awsation 5y agoblokada (https://blokada.org/ https://blokada.org/) works great for this purpose. I would totally recommend it.
