If I only allow “essential” trackers, it will ask me to enable targeted tracking every time I open the app… Not really a choice if it’s forced.

TD Bank (the 10th largest bank in the US) was fined 3BN USD for their role in an international money laundering scheme in Oct of this year.

They gotta make that money back somehow.

Outlook is a fucking PAID SERVICE. I get websites need to make money somehow but this is just plain greedy.

It can not be. I have an ancient @live account and several friends have the old hotmail account. Both are accessed via Outlook’s webpage.

In any case, there’s a “reject all” button right there so outlook is AT LEAST complying with GDPR on the surface.

The Shelter app allows you to sandbox other apps:

It’s no longer on Google Play (likely because it makes it a bit more difficult to track people) but can be found on Fdroid:

This just seperates it into a secondary profile but all apps in your main profile are already sandboxed as well the only apps that are not sandboxed are system apps such as Play services. But you could use the app in a work profile(shelter) under a seperate Google account that would add a bit more anonymity. But android default app sandbox could be more secure there are other custom ROMs that do just that making the regular app sandbox even more secure.

Here is more information on how each android app is sandboxed(except Play Services)

I had quite a few services with them, and ditched them all. They’ve been giving me plenty of incentive to ditch this one last account, so that’ll be on my 2025 todo list!

I ditched them in 1998. I don’t hate them like BMO or CIBC but they’re down on the list. I still do Blue.
