Exactly how is it easier to “track you” using an application thst is sandbox that you have to explicitly give it permission to have access to your location or other data than it is on to track you on a website where there are literally dozens of ways to track you across different websites?
Ha, go look at all the permissions on Android that you cannot deny. Example, Starbucks app...
Other
Advertising ID Permission
run foreground service
control vibration
run at startup
have full network access
use biometric hardware
view network connections
change network connectivity
prevent phone from sleeping
Play Install Referrer API
view Wi-Fi connections
use fingerprint hardware
show notifications
receive data from Internet
Isn’t using the biometric API still controlled by a secure place on the device where all it gives you back is - did you pass the biometric check?
Advertising tracking is still easier on the web.
The rest of the permissions says a lot about Android and even so.
If PWAs were good enough on Android and it was just mean old Apple holding them back they should be pervasive for the 80% of the population that uses Android
