Connect is the most feature rich of all lemmy clients but it seems incredibly unoptimized.

Aside from the “usual” random crashes. I can literally feel my phone getting more and more sluggish until the system memory is just filled to the brim and it crashes. Definitely not a Doom Scroll friendly client at the moment.

My guess is all these trackers are from linked URLs from posts that Connect fetches without valid reason.

Since it’s still in early development I will still keep an eye on it, but yeah, it needs some more optimization

Hi, I’ve seen this come up before too and what you’re seeing are the trackers in the websites you’re visiting.

Connect includes 0 trackers of any kind.

‘Connect for Lemmy’ doesn’t seem to include ANY trackers, see this analysis: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect/latest/

The blocked activities are probably links you accessed in the integrated browser of this app.

Probably previews from pages people have linked on those websites

Sieht, when you open Website links with tracker with connect, this will count as lemmy trackers…

iOS user here but had a thought. Does your privacy tracker allow you to see here requests come from aka the app itself or posts you click?

The app privacy report built in to iOS breaks down connects made directly by the app and from websites opened from posts. Just a thought to understand where the requests come from.

You sure it’s not just the javascript from all the fediverse servers that appear on your page? Maybe the tool is mis-categorizing the code that’s running?

Disabled in app Browser, its usually the websites you open in them that do this.

Thanks for the replies, I will disable the built in browser and let Firefox/ublockO do it’s thing.

Because of this post I downloaded duck duck go for tracker blocking no trackers in connect for Lemmy for me that it’s blocked or seen. Weird.
