    It isn’t to save RAM the you should use the website over the app for.

        I think they’re referring to the fact that often installed apps will be able to mine more of your data

          that sounds like just plain old paranoia and fear mongering

            I wish it were… But well, I guess I’ve been exposed to far too many privacy news articles, so I’m now paranoid too (with good reason)

            @Zeragamba @QuazarOmega just because something is paranoia doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Whenever I turn on the DuckDuckGo “VPN” to stop tracking by third party apps, I’m amazed at how many request are happening from apps I hardly use and many I don’t expect (though I should know that something can still be open source Free Software and that the open code contains surveillance capitalsm tracking in order to fund the project)
