So you don’t use native apps because they can track everything you do in the app so you use websites that can track everything you do on their site?

They said "...a browser with ublock origin.." uBlock Origin is a content blocker that would help prevent tracking.

But wouldn't they be able to infer what you clicked by the data loaded?

If you block that data, most webapps, especially things like an app store, will be useless.

Cutting the shit out of website is much easier compared to app. I am doing it by default.

What extension allows you to block “hover” tracking and not “click” tracking?

If the website is not using a third party site for tracking, you can’t block the owner from tracking and storing your interactions.

hover tracking is done by js, hence any js stopping would do.

I personally use that + VPN that cuts the rest that sneaks in
