I don’t use banking apps, there are few features necessary for an app, and they all havw trackers in them. I make PWAs and all my banks and credit card sites work just fine.

This is a little bit douchey with the wording but not entirely incorrect. Nintendo fans play Nintendo games, and that’s usually it. As much as they’ve gotten better at third party support, it’s cheaper to just buy a separate console or PC, which has games go on sale and have it run better. Rather than buying Witcher 3 running sub 30 FPS at full price years after release because Nintendo tax. But if you do that you’re not a “Nintendo guy”. You’re just really onto video games, so BoTW won’t surprise you.

Similar to how Apple repackages features. If you use Apple products you’re usually either a tech guy or an Apple guy. The tech guys have a healthy respect for Apple but don’t appreciate the repackaging and business practices. The Apple guys are impressed, because Apple facilitates being locked into their ecosystem, and therefore they’ve never seen it.

What is a code prettier?

Offline mode is available for free on the mobile app, but not desktop. Doesn’t work offline for browser extension at all, which is how auto fill works on desktop, which is much more useful. And offline mode for Proton  just means you can view the passwords you already created, not create more.

There are true offline local password managers but as long as the cloud sync is encrypted, I see no reason to avoid using it and miss out on half the functionality. Auth is more debatable but I’ve found uses for cloud hosted Auth too.

Because you should have your email, password manager, and authenticator be 3 different services. Otherwise there is 1 point of failure.

No, Play Store does not require Play Services integration, nor does it mandate any trackers.

In practice though, most use Play Services for push notifications, and there are a LOT of apps with at least Google Crashlytics, Google Firebase Analytics, and Google Admob trackers. Check out Exodus for tracker reports. Or use the Tracker Controller app. Just note that some trackers are pretty benign, or even a security feature, like Sentry.

Let’s gooooooo

Almost never. I lived in a bad neighborhood for too long, so I doubt that habit will change.

It would explain a lot tbh.
