I use Muzei and my wallpaper changes every half hour, so I’m not really affected.

But even if I was, so the fuck what? If you’re sacrificing your personal enjoyment of your phone for privacy, you’re either a secret agent or you’re overly paranoid.

Most of us are running adblocking at the DNS level, so what exactly are you worried about?

Paranoia for the sake of paranoia is stupid!

Let’s be honest though, “don’t set a wallpaper, in case they track you” is extreme. It’s the privacy equivalent of the £1000 Ethernet Cables.
