I guess my question was if webpage versions of apps can/typically use Google analytics-type tracking of what you’re doing.
And more specifically if Safari with private relay, perhaps with some extensions, can hide anything such webpages are trying to scrape.
Thank you. That’s very helpful.
And yep, https://www.abc.net.au/news is exactly one of the sites I was thinking of. I notice their app makes many calls to firebaselogging-pa.googleapis.com and similar. Sending who knows what.
Moving to the web version I’m hoping can blunt such things. On iOS I use AdGuard, Hush, and StopTheMadness. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html tells me I’m not doing too bad in terms of ads and tracking.
Two others which are pretty bad with their apps but have very similar webpages:
