So I started playing Sonic Forces Mobile last night. Got into a Sonic mood and it's less of a cognitive load than Frontiers. Pretty fun little game. But, I see why I primarily use FOSS apps anymore. In the 18ish hours it's been installed on my phone, it's made at least 600 calls to third parties.

I say at least because I turned off DuckDuckGo's 3rd party tracking blocker for a while so ads could run. Oh yeah, the game is about 80% ads. I quasi watched more ads last night on my phone than I have in the previous year. Probably not as many since I uninstalled Mighty Doom.

Also, that's a third of all the ads blocked on my phone this week according to DDG. Further, if you have an Android and don't use a VPN, download the DDG browser and turn on 3rd party tracking protection. It might break some app [ad]s, but it's worth it.

So yeah, nice PvP runner game, but WAY too many ads and 3rd party cookies.

Not every day you get an epic from a crate! A bit annoying… have 10 weapons and about 7 gear items that are double epic. How long till my second legendary? 🙃
