    The only downside for me is the ad trackers. If those get disabled when we pay for no ads, then it would be perfect

    Not saying that doesn’t happen, I just don’t know…

      Something I wish back on Boost for Reddit was a separate free app and a paid separate app without ads and trackers, but it’s something Google apparently doesn’t allow anymore. Reddit is fun was able to have reddit is fun gold because they had the separate app before the rules went into affect.

        Damn, that’s sad, I love when they make the separate since usually I can put the paid app on my family library.

      This is an interesting question. Maybe Ruben can answer? Or Google it and see what other apps have to say.

      Apparently the ad tracking is disabled when you launch the rocket. Also, I deleted the other apps pretty much right away 🤣

      I’m pretty sure that they get disabled when you purchase ad-free. I use DuckDuckGo to block ad tracking attempts, and it’s not picking up any from Boost.
