    That’s exactly it. Easy to block ads and trackers on a website, but more difficult or impossible on some apps.

    One of the banking apps won’t show the total balance of the account unless I’m using the app. How ridiculous.

      They know that a lot of people would rather have it work a little better by getting an app, if they keep reminding people it’s an option.

      Even if “better” is just lack of nags.

      It’s sad. We need a digital privacy law so that an app can’t be more invasive than the website.

        Well, they just swap nags from “download our app” to “rate our app” no matter what you do, you’ll be nagged…
