> That's definitely overblown. I've got a half-dozen enabled, and on re-reviewing that list, I still think they're legitimate. Upon checking mine, I've whitelisted Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Meet, Mattermost (work chat app), and Slack, and I want notifications enabled for all those things.
Most of it are native apps tho ?
The difference is that you install app explicitly for purpuse of doing that, vs "I accidentally clicked on website and now it sends crap to my feed" of average illiterate users.
- toastal 4y agoThey're mostly Electron, not native apps. My browser has extensions that help me with all of the tracking these apps are full of that are a hassle to patch in Electron apps (who know how Manifest v3 will affect Electron). Unless you have a FOSS TUI I can opt out of tracking, no thanks: I'll keep you in the browser in a pinned tab.
- toastal 4y agoAs a bonus, I can apply userStyles to fix their UIs such as them not making black #000 (muddy grey looks bad on OLED) or not using my user-agent-defined monospace font or putting too much padding around elements in a chat UI.
- delecti 4y agoNative apps exist for most(all?) of those, I just prefer to use the website versions of all of those.
