Latest data grab disguised as a privacy feature just dropped. Make sure this shit is off.
@SiteRelEnby I very highly recommend going into the Ads section in Settings (Security & Privacy, More Privacy Settings, Ads), disabling every option, and deleting your advertising ID entirely to stop ad tracking (or at least minimize it to the full extent that Google allows).
@emberquill Yeah, I know how to do that, lol, this "suggested ad" crap is just entirely new.
@SiteRelEnby @emberquill good thing that the "ads" menu is missing on @GrapheneOS (I can highly recommend Graphene.)
@dbrgn @emberquill @GrapheneOS Yeah, Graphene looks nice, I just wish it ran on a phone that *didn't* have a potato instead of a CPU...
The Tensor isn't that far off the phone I upgraded *from* and I don't want to downgrade to that having experienced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2...
@SiteRelEnby Well, I glad I didn't say something foolish like, "At least it's disabled by default," because while it wasn't enabled yesterday, it turned itself on this morning after notifying me about a "new privacy feature".
Fuck Google. I'm installing Graphene.
@emberquill GrapheneOS please support a phone with an actual decent CPU and not a CPU-shaped potato challenge
@SiteRelEnby Adding dns.adguard.com as a Private DNS in Android (Settings > Network & Internet > Private DNS) also helps stop advertising in apps outright. Combine both and ads are gone for good.
@LambdaCalculus I already have my own DNS resolver :P
@SiteRelEnby The only ad-related toggle I want my phone to have is "ads", and you can turn it off and that's it, no more ads, period.
@SiteRelEnby ok which app that be? :O
