According to the tracking scanner Exodus (can be found on F-Droid), which keeps an updated database on trackers and runs your installed app against its register, you can track what apps are tracking you and clues of how. Saw that Boost is tracking me and uninstalled it and went straight to Jerboa. Jerboa is pretty similar to good ole’ RedditIsFun-app and easy to use, so I am personally recommending it.

From F-Droid:

Exodus (Exodus show you trackers and permissions in apps installed on your device.) https://f-droid.org/packages/org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy/

    It does. Check the official privacy policy, 9 mentions of trackers as well as the extremely limited options for opting out of the trackers.

          And you didn’t read the prompt on launch of the free version that details the paid version doesn’t have any tracking and doesn’t even load those libraries, dumbfuck 🙄.

          Although judging by your twisting of words and presumptuous ignorance you have no interest in the truth. You’d most likely prefer to suck another app’s boots and shill for them through fucking lies.
