    If there’s anyone here that cares about their privacy and doesn’t know this already:

    If you have a choice between accessing the website through a browser and installing an app, use the browser. Browsers (typically) at least try to protect the types of information that gets sent, whereas there are much fewer restrictions (again, typically) for apps.

    Everyone wants you to install apps because apps (typically) get access to much more data.

      The worst is many of these apps are just websites repackaged as apps. They just want the elevated access being an app gives them.
