Why do you turn on your developer mode permanently, TS?

Can't you just turn it off under settings, developer options and only enable it when you need to do debugging?

They do that because they want to force install their malicious apps in your phone and don't want you to remove them on purpose.Some of these telemetry apps even steals your surfing habits, data which you use daily and many of your personal inputs reporting them back to the manufacturers servers claimed for improvement purposes.

It actually work both ways.

Those ad blocker apps actually do you good but the content ad-tracking companies such as Google and Meta don't like you blocking their ads for loss of revenues. So they include those apps as illegal/security risks tools in their security patches.

Knowledgeable users of course know what they're doing, those ad-blocking/telemetry apps are not security risk apps but are revenue loss to Google/Meta.

But why do you think these corporations include them as illegal risky security apps under their security patches?

Why do you think Chrome intentionally block plugins such as uBlock recently few months back?

Are they actually improving your security by not allowing you to block their ad-trackers? Or they are actually trying to protect their own revenues/interests?

People need to have some common sense.

The devil will not tell you that he's feeding you poison, he will say this is nourishment for you to take regularly and so are their security patches which will block you from taking away their revenues.

Get it?

There was once, when I used ad-blocker on my phone those banking apps wouldn't load.I think it's still happening occasionally..

What does that mean? Our online bank portals have been known to use malicious domains that are being abused by ad trackers?

Do the banks prefer you to receive malicious ads and are encouraging you not to install ad-blockers for "their" security reasons of protecting their ads revenues side businesses?

Ad-blockers actually operate in a very simple concept.

It updates with the latest list of blacklisted domain addresses and force redirect them to a void IP that loads nothing.Preventing your privacy from being leaked back to the hacker's data collection servers.

These domain addresses are supposed to be malicious because hackers and data thefts usually forwards your stolen data back to their own base when they collect them from your device/PC.

The strange thing is why when we enable ad-blockers, the banking apps also seize to load and force close?

Don't you think there's devil in the details?

Malicious domain links that are believed to be data retrieval servers when blocked also prevents your banking apps from loading?

It's like saying Google Analytics are saints and cyber criminals cannot abuse their solutions for unethical purposes?
Also call centre scammers have been imposing as Microsoft tech support experts for so many years os well known thing.

It's all grey area. They have their own interests which might not be the same as the public due to revenues reasons.

To block them is actually a good way to avoid unwanted issues. Why can't the bank use their own trusted domains for the sole purpose of their services?
That way they can reduce phishing better.

Or they actually have secret collaboration with these ad companies that they are not revealing to their customers?

Google Ads and Meta Ads are not charity companies for sure. They have their own interests and profits to maintain.

Do you think Ad-blockers go against their companies ethics and policies? We all know for well ad-trackers do not function as merely banner displays. It collects a whole lot more information on users through browser fingerprints and javascript system info.

I don't believe casino and porn content ad developers have ethics to begin with. That was how mobile operators could leak out SMS shortcodes and drain subscribers years back when users accidentally click/load those illegal ad banners.

Why would these large corporations including third party telcos even care if there are few people in the market knows what's going on behind those ad trackers? As long as the revenues keeps coming in, no one complains of sharing databases of their clients.Enablers, Providers, Content creators.

They're all suspects playing dumb and pointing fingers in a circle with endless blaming.
