Don't use mobile apps that could just be websites.

Extended to add don’t use websites without blockers. If they are willing to track via app, why would we think they would not track via browser?

At least on android the browser is limited by the android permission system, i.e. if you dont give browser GPS permissionit cannot give pages dito. In addition the browser will ask if you want to grant an app access to something like positioning data.

Furthermore, it is hard for a web page to run in background and receive user data.
