Connect was my favorite until i realized its absolutely riddled with trackers. RIP. Currently trying Wefwef but ill probably come back to Jerboa.
Excited to try Boost when it releases.
I saw some post about the trackers but I didn't really understand what that meant. Can you explain?
Here you can see all the requests it is making.

It might be the worst app i have installed in this regard.
Im using the Tracker Control app to see (and block) trackers, ads, etc.
EDIT: Some say this is due to visiting links within the app and using the in-app browser. I will open links on the external browser and find out.
Edit2: I disabled the in-app browser and reset the Tracker Control findings but am still finding lots of trackers according to Tracker Control.
