Possibly another scummy behavior from fucking Meta.

So I try my best to avoid url tracking. I set the default browser on my android phone to this app: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

I also made sure to turn off the "Open supported links" settings from aps like Instagram.

So usually, if someone shares Instagram links to WhatsApp, usually with the url tracking, I can clean them up first using UrlChecker before opening it in Instagram app.

Recently I noticed if I tap on Instagram links, WhatsApp will immediately open it in Instagram, ignoring Android's default browser setting to open the link with UrlChecker first.

I thought something was broken, but if I open non-instagram links, those will open UrlChecker app.

Can you please help check if the behavior is the same on your side? So I can be sure that I'm not crazy. Thanks!

Then they know who's the poster (you), they can know your username if they want to. A lot of people use the same username in many places, so unless you use different usernames in different social media, it's still valuable data.

If not that, seeing how the content spreads through social media and analyzing the reach is interesting data by itself.

There are services like https://nextdns.io/ that makes it super easy to use DNS-based tracker blocking on most devices.

There's the 5$/month option available if you don't search more than 300 times a month.

Another step towards interoperability.

There are plenty of great apps developed by one or only a few people. I'm personally not surprised.

Another great alternative to Reddit. It's also a non-profit.
