Why the fuck does BBC sounds have so much tracking???

Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de · 25 天前

Probably to collect all that it can to sell the data. Or they fucked up the feature and it triggers a connection attempt each second or sth.

I mean, even for your average commercial app, that’s an absolutely insane rate. I’m betting it keeps retrying whenever it fails or something

expr@programming.dev · 25 天前

Yeah, honestly that almost looks like straight-up incompetence, like a ton of polling going on.

PaleRider@feddit.uk · 25 天前

Yeah, I wondered that but I’m no tech expert.

Lag@lemmy.world · 25 天前

What do you use to block attempts?

daslfc@lemmy.world · 25 天前

Looks like the duckduck go app for android

Lag@lemmy.world · 25 天前

Thank you. I knew they had a browser but I didn’t know it could also block tracking from other apps. Definitely useful.

PaleRider@feddit.uk · 24 天前

Yup… Duckduckgo.

Lots of these trackers and advertisers will happily serve you literal malware. It’s not safe to browse unprotected.

devdoggy@lemmy.world · 24 天前

Wait, what app are you using?

PaleRider@feddit.uk · 23 天前

I use duckduckgo browser. It has an App tracker blocker.
