@Zeragamba@QuazarOmega just because something is paranoia doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Whenever I turn on the DuckDuckGo “VPN” to stop tracking by third party apps, I’m amazed at how many request are happening from apps I hardly use and many I don’t expect (though I should know that something can still be open source Free Software and that the open code contains surveillance capitalsm tracking in order to fund the project)
It isn’t to save RAM the you should use the website over the app for.
I think they’re referring to the fact that often installed apps will be able to mine more of your data
that sounds like just plain old paranoia and fear mongering
I wish it were… But well, I guess I’ve been exposed to far too many privacy news articles, so I’m now paranoid too (with good reason)
