@clockwooork @epidiah Well, of course! Instead of just taking whatever they can get from your browser, they've got access to your whole device. Also makes it easier for them to send you notifications and get more of your screen time.

@clockwooork @Epidiah Not only tracking but also serving ads in ways that are less or not blockable.
