save you a click: it’s in-app tracking and device screenshots. Don’t install apps that have a working website. Also don’t use Facebook.
Websites do the same thing. Example: openreplay.com
Using a browser is still better because users have more agency. But switching to the web variant isn’t a magic bullet on this front.
The browser version at least does not have the ability to take screenshots, but you will always be tracked on the websites you use, especially if their business model is advertising-based
It does. That’s what session replay is. Granted it’s scoped to the website itself, so no browser or desktop.
