If I may inquire, what app is that?

Well what can I say ... Are those tracking requests or?

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago

Paid user here, the requests in my screenshot are normal web requests. Zero ad or tracking requests.

[-] duckington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe this user paid for removing ads, and the tracking requests you’re seeing are ad tracker requests

[-] Mang@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

No, I haven't paid for anything, I just found it interesting that Sync has much more trackers than other apps, also for much more companies!

Jfc, go scroll through this c/ and look for the other posts about this.

This is a known effect of the ad server. It is not from the app otherwise.

Those trackers are Google based.

every app that has ads is exactly the same as this

The few that may be from other sources will be from the browser, based on the sites visited. Again, this is the same for any app that connects to websites in the same way.

Thanks for clarifying, I just found it strange that the number was so high
