- digiown 10mo agoMe too. But you have to be a lot more careful about not running proprietary crap on the desktop, which is easier to do than on phone. Ever been forced to install some crap for some event/business/etc?
- realusername 10mo agoI have the somewhat controversial opinion that most Android apps are pretty much useless as native and they would be okay as a webapp if it would be more seamless. Exceptions would maybe be games.
- digiown 10mo agoI wouldn't disagree at all. But you often have to waste a lot of time to avoid them, if at all possible. It's a good thing that Android at least offers some protection against them exfiltrating your filesystem.
