Wouldn’t be surprised if we learned in a few months that this was done by state sponsored hackers.

it turns out that I’m stupid and I forget to re-enable installation of add-ons.

I’m using iron fox, it won’t load that extension

What do you use for mobile?

I’m on grapheneos, when someone seems me a link, I long press until a context moment l menu pops up, then I share to summit. I don’t allow apps to auto-open other apps as its a privacy concern. App developers will use what apps you have available for handling links as a way to build a unique profile of their users.

And you don’t see a problem where the default is that tracking behavior? I shouldn’t have to hunt through settings meticulously just to maintain some semblance of privacy.

When sharing a link to a post from Voyager it sends you to a URL on their server.

As an example, sharing this post from Summit will go to sh.itjust.works/post/68040352, but sharing this post from Voyager will go to vger.to/sh.itjust.works/post/68040352, which is a private server where we don’t know what this person is doing with the data collected.

I would advise against using Voyager since it tries to track link shares by first directing you to their website first. It made me uncomfortable so I switched to Summit. I had tried interstellar but wasn’t a fan of the layout or how they didn’t have the ability to handle going into cross-posted links on android at least. Also, had to use obtainium to install it. Summit on F-Droid supports the full fediverse. I had tried a fourth but can’t remember its name, I dropped it because it lacked support for piefeed.
