Sensor Tower owns ad blocker and VPN apps that collect user data
This is literally, one among many reasons (ha!), why I use Firefox. Every other browser vendor is a for-profit entity, and as such will limit good ad-blocking measures as Safari and Chrome have done recently with their new &quot;security&quot; policies.<p>This is also why I don&#x27;t use a VPN I don&#x27;t run (or certainly not one that hasn&#x27;t been audited with a good reputation), and I certainly would never fucking dream of using a free VPN unless all the traffic over it is absolutely worthless.<p>... How many of these things install root certs where even after you&#x27;ve canceled your subscription you&#x27;re still accepting their bullshit?<p>On the other hand, this could make for a hilarious experiment using adversarial neural networks to troll the assholes mining data from the VPNs.
