It is, I just do it out of habit.

Nope, never watched the Orville. But variations of this particular quote from MacBeth occasionally pop up in entertainment media.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

I like reading ebooks on my phone or tablet. Google and Amazon make acquisition easy in that regard.

So yes I am part of 'the problem' whatever that means.

I live in Philadelphia and I always boil and filter my tap water. My mother did it when we grew up in New York, then my brother and I continued the practice.

I think this comes down to the difference in how you and I secure our phones. I get no tracker pings on any of my apps. Not even with that DuckDuckGo app running for an hour.

Based on your sample results, Connect isn't the problem. Your phone seems to be horribly compromised.

I stand behind AntennaPod, it does what I need.

That PC is an investment. It will easily outlast at least three generations of $500 consoles, because it can be upgraded.

That comment seems to be an attempt at disinformation. I have not detected any of those trackers. You should also run your own checks just to be sure.

Tested Connect using three different privacy apps and none of them found any trackers. I don't know if I can trust the source of that post. Instead of blindly taking my word for it you should also conduct your own tests.

Same. I prefer it to Jerboa. But I am disquieted by the currently unverified post stating that it might be full of trackers.

I'd also like to know this.

Yep I just finished setting up Feeder for the websites I read most and a few subreddits.
