Bobby installed an app to get free porn. Now Bobby has a Smartphone Transmitted Disease. Don't be Bobby. Abstain from 3rd-party apps.

Your tweet sent me down a rabbit hole - namely, how far back in your TL would I have to go to find mention of an IOS app with a major flaw? Answer: I gave up. IOS seems more resistant to leaking data than Android. Would you agree?

At some point, iOS gave you granular control of app permissions, and Android did not. That's when I switched. However, modern Android does finally give the user a similar level of control. As for my personal focus on Android apps, it's simply because I have an app downloader.

Crazy annoying how many sites deliberately cripple mobile experience to push an app

And why would a site *want* you to install an app, if you're clearly already using the site? Follow the money, and ponder both what information of yours they're selling, and whether it's worth it.

Most of the time, the only reason the website doesn't meet my needs is that it won't stop popping up notices telling me to use their app instead.

Very true. In some ways, iOS and Android have shown us some of the practical limits of sandboxing as a defensive strategy. Not that it's not immensely valuable (we feel the lack of it on Windows everyday), but that it's not a panacea for all serious security & privacy issues.

For some baffling reason, (in my experience) users think mobile = app so they use the app even if it has less features than the mobile web
