Oh absolutely. I kinda feel like preventing the default action on a tag like that should just not be allowed, or browsers should not display the target link thing if it has an event listener attached or something.

That's actually pretty simple to do. I don't know if this is how they did it, but one way is just creating an tag with the href to google.com. that'll show the destination if you hover over it. Then you just add an event listener to the click event, prevent the default event from executing, and manually redirect somewhere else.

Made a quick example: https://codepen.io/Ghoelian/pen/poXeOyo

It's not. I am on GrapheneOS though, also Android 14, but I don't think that should make a difference here.

Maybe the flavour of Android you're running decided to do things a bit differently? I honestly don't know

If you mean unattended, they already do since Android 12.

Apps do need to implement the functionality manually, but it seems pretty simple.

Looks like Aurora already has, it just updated Discord for me while my phone was off.

Yeah, the only thing I've ever seen is the MOK management thingy your bios will throw you into if something wants to add a new key, but iirc that can only list the key you're about to add, not all of them. I also have no idea how you get to that menu without adding a new key.

At least on the advertising company's phone, I have the freedom to install a different, more privacy respecting OS like GrapheneOS.

Looks like it's inspired by Solarized to me. I kinda like it actually, much better than black text on white.

I thought for a long time it was actually spelled jewelery, just because I'd only ever heard people pronounce it wrong and i guess never saw it written down.

They still get DDOS'ed now, but Cloudflare stops it before it can reach their own servers.

I'm dutch and grew up in the 2000's, I still remember boiled brussel sprouts tasting super bitter and awful. Haven't really tried them since I cook my own meals though.

Aren't you supposed to not kill cockroaches? i thought it'd attract more or something

(I don't like this kind of data collection either fwiw, not trying to defend them or anything)

On Android at least, device id's are unique per app, and reset when you reset your phone to factory. In theory they can't use this data to cross-track you personally, since every service that uses a device id has a different one for the same user.

They can probably still build up a pretty accurate profile of you based on other data they collect though.
