>>62238654
That's because there's trackers that wait for your keystrokes. Once they see you've search for something related to "pregnancy", or some shit, your data goes up for sale to highest bidder. They then target you, and start posting items for sale that relate to your searches(e.g. Check Out This Stroller! Get This Baby Formula!).

And don't confuse me, it's not literal people doing this, but sophisticated code.

I never everrrr had GPS on. I never used Google's location shit for anything, and I never opt in to their products. In fact, I had most of them disabled.

And an even bigger concern: most of the pictures they had in their little platform of mine, I deleted from my phone. But for some reason, they still had them along with gigs of other personal data.

>>62238702
>Tracks you offline
how is this possible?

>>62238759
You don't even have to have Facebook to be tracked by them. Their little "like" and "share" buttons track you as well. So even if you don't have a Facebook, it knows which sites you're own because their software is essentially built into them. Same with Google and their webmaster tools.

their apps can see which stores you're going into, thus it can get a glimpse of what you're buying.

My mom had a Facebook, and I deleted it with much difficulty from Facebook. Some time later, I moved away, and she wanted one again to keep in touch (this was before I deleted mine). Facebook informed her that her email was in use and that her account was reactivated. I know for a fact I deleted her account. It took about an hour to find the proper screen to do it. She wanted it back again like a year later and it had a bunch of advertisements for Australia, which is where I ended up moving to.

You're just making up shit or completely inept. Lie harder.

>>62238579
And you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't a function of McDonalds' WIFI network. Probably had connected to a McDonald's WIFI network in the past and so it automatically connected again when he entered, but this time when it connected the Internet access test the device does was redirected to the app store.

why doesn't /g/ just replace google with a suite of open source softwares

I have a galaxy s5 but no Google botnet installed. If I really need an app from the playstore I just use Raccoon on my PC to get the apk and then install it via adb. Google shills btfo

Use f-droid. If you really need a proprietary app from the appstore use Raccoon on your PC to download the APK and then install it with adb. No need for any gapps botnet on your phone.

I lived without gapps for years, was totally fine. But my GF and I broke up so now I wanna use tinder, so I caved and installed gapps. Don't link to my Google account, but Google play services is installed.

I hate that I did that. But I guess the desire to get my dick sucked outweighs any affinity to FOSS software

>>62241160 Would installing just tinder via an apk work or does it rely on the framework?

>>62240757
Can't you just use yalp store on f-droid to download apk?

My main concern though is if lucky patcher can enable in app purchase (to unlock pro features) without gapps installed. And where to download paid apks.

>>62241320
I could use yalp, I just have not bothered with it yet. Why I have now works and I do like having my apks sourced from my computer, I flash ROMs a bunch due to some things I am working on and have scripts setup to install my apks automatically; could not do this with yalp since they would be stored on my phone. As for paid apps you can link an existing google account to raccoon or yalp to download things you pay for. If you need to buy an app just do it via the website. As for pirating apps... I don't know where to begin. I trust pirated apps about as much as I trust shillary clinton
