*Shocked-Face*

Even https://www.ic3.gov recommends #adblockers due to #malvertising .

That's a bit hard when the ' apps ' don't allow that unless you visit it with #TheEverythingApp called a #WebBrowser

Edit: aw crap someone already mentioned it.

@bcrypt

The solution to this madness is instead of ' using the X app, ' , just use #TheEverythingApp , a #WebBrowser and watch that ' open a new tab ' instead, with the sane defaults / plugin settings set the way YOU want and NOT the default ' let everything runAsAService offering ' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#infosec has solutions

How hard was it to resurrection an iFrame, ffs! /$ Obviously they just use CSS and JavaScript now so...

This varies by operating system what data is collected. I also practice that same minimization apps wise because once you have #TheEverythingApp, aka a Web Browser, what more did you need that wasn't already included, right?

I _am_ equating that your phone _does_ collect info about you in the car though. I also don't like connected cars but that's just due to the insecurities in a TON of connected cars, as I have seen a ton of demos about this and how insecure they are, as reported in the news, but so does the phone exploits which also give me pause.

The data brokers now are being discussed which is the main point of sale, in either phone or car or both, for data privacy reasons, for sure. Minimization of data goes so far and doing so is a good practice and is highly encouraged, absolutely.
