Common issue when using an in-app Browser to open links. It's not the app, it's the websites. Well, mostly usually.

Good to know. Didn't happen until I opened a link but that much trackers for the built in web engine? Holy cow. Thanks for the response

No, that many trackers for the websites you visited using the built-in web engine

Each website might use a different analytics platform. Most will at least use tracking cookies from Google and Meta. Some might have Salesforce or HubSpot trackers if they have a CRM. The options for companies to track their users really never ends!

The 'built in web engine' is your devices Android System Webview.

Jasn is correct. To add to that, here's App Manager's scanner showing no detected trackers in the app itself:

Thanks for auditing us. Let us know if that ever changes, as it's not something we intend to alter.

Thanks for that. App Manager says it's clean, and RethinkDNS logs look good. Thanks for keeping it FOSS

Out of curiosity, what did you use to detect tracking attempts?

Looks like duck duck go

I've been having it as a puzzle where they try and find people who's seen them and for if/when they find tracks they roll for something. Don't have the papers on me rn to check
