Android Fediverse client that does not send user agent to servers (programming.dev)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for an Android Fediverse client that does not send user-agent information (device or client details) to servers. Ideally, it should support both Mastodon and Lemmy, or other Fediverse platforms as well.

Tracker Control blocks requests to domains. When you use Voyager to read an article, Voyager loads the website which might contain trackers. Tracker Control can help block that sort of thing.

Ohhh gotcha. I have Voyager open links externally to my browser which uses Waterfox with Privacy Badger (by EFF) and Port Authority (recommended by ff staff iirc) extensions. Should accomplish the same thing. Man, too tired to think and process when I saw voyager and trackers smh. Thank you!
