A hack of location data company Gravy Analytics has revealed which apps are—knowingly or not—being used to collect your information behind the scenes.
> Some of the world’s most popular apps are likely being co-opted by rogue members of the advertising industry to harvest sensitive location data on a massive scale, with that data ending up with a location data company whose subsidiary has previously sold global location data to US law enforcement.
> The thousands of apps, included in hacked files from location data company Gravy Analytics, include everything from games like Candy Crush and dating apps like Tinder to pregnancy tracking and religious prayer apps across both Android and iOS. Because much of the collection is occurring through the advertising ecosystem—not code developed by the app creators themselves—this data collection is likely happening without users’ or even app developers’ knowledge.
> “For the first time publicly, we seem to have proof that one of the largest data brokers selling to both commercial and government clients appears to be acquiring their data from the online advertising ‘bid stream,’” rather than code embedded into the apps themselves, Zach Edwards, senior threat analyst at cybersecurity firm Silent Push and who has followed the location data industry closely, tells 404 Media after reviewing some of the data.
It's been here since more than a year. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/firefox-androids-new-privacy-feature-total-cookie-protection-stops-companies-from-keeping-tabs-on-your-moves/
It's there on mobile. Check the details tab in tracking protection. You should see it mentioned there.
You are better off using an open source app like Aegis, KeepassDX, among others.
Is there a non paywalled article somewhere? It asks for a sub the alternative asks for sign up and free trial.
Maybe, but then how can other apps load the posts. These are the latest posts as can be seen on boost 
Hmm, that was the screenshot from the community start. It includes the top pinned posts. Here's when I scroll down. 
That's on spotify. YTmusic doesn't have this issue. I have album art on my homescreen widget from smart launcher.
The Realme 12 Pro will soon be launched as an extremely interesting midrange smartphone that packs a high-quality main camera with a Sony IMX890 sensor and a periscope telephoto camera into a particularly stylish case, as the first teasers and hands-on images show.
Hmm, maybe look into something like the duckduckgo app? Set it as a digital assistant in default apps and you can invoke it like you would Google assistant. You can also add a search widget to the homescreen and simply search.
These are miui shenanigans. You can disable chrome in settings and set different browsers as default on most other Roms like oneui, stock android, realmeui, etc. Last time I used miui, I decided never again.
The phone is identical to the X50 Pro with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Honor launched a new smartphone today called X50 GT. Packing a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 it...

They said PWA. Chrome and Chrome like browsers can install pwa as native apps, aka webapks on your android. Firefox can only add a shortcut where sites can run full screen.

Plus some upgrade discounts, but both policies will only apply to customers in India.
I guess they used the auto suggest title feature where even the original article does not mention it. It's mentioned in the subheading.
If you are upgrading from that option. Go for it. It shouldn't be a problem.
My older redmi has this issue where once a accessibility service was killed, it had to be disabled and enabled with the 10s mandatory wait because xiaomi. Miui also disables a bunch of APIs like 3rd party apps cannot change the wallpaper or the running services option present in most ROMs. This isn't to ignore the aggressive app killing behavior of miui. Overall, my experience wasn't great. Oneui is a much better and more stable experience, IMO.
Gestures were broken in android 11, but Google had released a fix, so they worked with 3rd party launchers. Xioami, for some reason, hasn't applied that fix, so it's still broken in miui. Other roms do not have this issue.
Has this adversely affected the phone's performance and ability to cool off?
Pixel 7a may've used a worse packaging material for the SOC resulting in higher heat and worse performance compared to pixel 7 and pixel 6
