I am shocked to hear we are being tracked online. Next I'll hear Nigerians aren't really princes who will give me twice the money I lent.

I found it interesting how they technically worked around OS restrictions to do this covertly. I admit I didn't imagine they did shenanigans this involved, just did the usual tracking via web pages only.

Don't use the apps. Use (mobile) websites

99% of niggers here run scripts

Do you have any stats that weren't pulled directly out of your ass?

Do you run scripts?

No, do you?

I'm running scripts on upgoat to be able to write comment... But otherwise its in whitelist mode. You know what we're talking about, right? I never took you to be technical enough to deal with not running scripts.
