I haven’t seen any ads in my Sync yet. Don’t have the space where they should be or anything. I haven’t paid either. I’m wondering if maybe it took the vanced that I had for reddit or something. But so far, it looks like I have a pair version of Sync, without having paid.

Could have sworn I’ve seen $29.99 before, but so far only found Slay The Spire at $9.99. GTA San Andreas is $6.99 though, so that’s a pretty good deal.

I just opened sync after installing Duck Duck Go. From within sync, Google requested 33 pieces of data. Google. Not sync. Google requested the data from within Sync. I’m fairly certain the only link to Sync that Google has, is the app store.

If I click a link in Sync, and I have an account for that site, I log in for my view preferences, and to save something to read later.

You also don’t need to log in for a site to track who’s visiting it. It’s like website 101 now, that every site tracks how anyone interacts with it.

Just about any and every news site has a sign in that you can use Facebook or Gmail to log in, probably AppleID, but I don’t use Apple products so I’ve never noticed, as well as creating a site specific account to log in.

ETA: Look at the pic, it’s saying Gmail Google pulled data from within eBay.
