Wait, so any app on Android with network access can just open a localhost port and then a browser script can share all your private browsing data via that port? Even on GrapheneOS? How is that not restricted?? What’s stopping your banking apps or “sandboxed” Google Play store from doing this and tracking everything?

    You are conflating separate practices. This is to track your private browsing outside of the browser, which is new.

      Um yes, that’s the topic of discussion. Since you’re just reply-guying at this point I’m going to cut this off.

        I feel the same way. You start talking about something different but related then don’t like it when you get called out.
