Does it work on the ads in the Gmail app for Android?
- autoexec 3y agoWhy would you ever use an app for a website? Opening a browser gives you the same information, with far more control over how it is presented to you, without the extra data collection and ads that come with using an app.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoBecause: - It allows swipe gestures and thus triaging emails much faster - Gmail extensions function properly - Gmail mobile UI sucks versus desktop because most people will use the app - It works offline - It has push notifications - You can make audio/video calls via Google Meet Data collection isn't a problem for me in my email because my threat model assumes all email services are compromised either at my end, the servers it passes through, or at the recipient's end. Anything sensitive goes via Matrix protocol, or you tell people to login to Nextcloud or Bitwarden to access a specific piece of information.
- richardjam73 3y agoThere are no ads if you use the default inbox.
- commoner 3y agoNo, but there are some very good free and open source email clients for Android that are compatible with Gmail and completely ad-free. 2 of my favorites are: - FairEmail: https://email.faircode.eu https://email.faircode.eu - K-9 Mail: https://k9mail.app https://k9mail.app
