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:

    As someone who uses this daily, I had no idea there were ads… So I’m being tracked without knowing it. I’m… Not into this.

      That’s literally not the case. If you’ve purchased the app the ad logic isn’t loaded, your porn habits aren’t being tracked.

        I didn’t pay for the no ad addition. I just have never seen one. I am likely being tracked, though.

        Next time, don’t assume. Adguard dns may be blocking it. That makes this situation a problem.
