You know where those trackers mostly come from? From the linked websites you visited in the posts.
If you change the Settings shortcut: Link handling > Default browser to “open externally” that should give you a more accurate picture of the trackers included in Sync. By default it will load the websites inside the app, which will give an inaccurate picture of the tracking taking place.
I didn’t know you could embed settings shortcuts. That’s pretty cool.
Hey thanks for this! I dodn’t know it included linked websites that makes much more sense
Counterpoint:
Well what can I say … Are those tracking requests or?
Paid user here, the requests in my screenshot are normal web requests. Zero ad or tracking requests.
Maybe this user paid for removing ads, and the tracking requests you’re seeing are ad tracker requests
No, I haven’t paid for anything, I just found it interesting that Sync has much more trackers than other apps, also for much more companies!
Jfc, go scroll through this c/ and look for the other posts about this.
This is a known effect of the ad server. It is not from the app otherwise.
Those trackers are Google based.
every app that has ads is exactly the same as this
The few that may be from other sources will be from the browser, based on the sites visited. Again, this is the same for any app that connects to websites in the same way.
Thanks for clarifying, I just found it strange that the number was so high
If I may inquire, what app is that?
Ad Guard
Just block ads with a DNS blocker, eg NextDNS
I actually don’t see any ads on sync this is about trackers
NextDNS blocks trackers too
Ohh okay I’ll check it out, thank you!
How can people here say they’re so concerned with privacy, but not understand how it can fundamentally work…?
Desire alone cannot cure ignorance; information is required for that, and not everyone has the know-how to find it.
Where do you see that in the app?
