So I've done a little bit of research, I've been seeing ads for Pie Adblock recently, and after going down a stupidly large wormhole, I’m starting to get some red flags about its privacy practices. Here’s what I think might pique yalls interest about this:
- They both have the same Co-Founder, which was also a developer of Honey, which we know had some serious privacy issues in the past, including, the main one, selling user data to third parties. Given that Pie Adblock has the same co-founder, I’m worried that it might be using similar methods to fund the service or monetize its users.
- The company has a very vague privacy policy. The privacy policy for Pie Adblock doesn’t give clear details on what happens to user data. It mentions using data to improve services, but doesn’t specify if they share or sell it with other parties.
- Cookies and Tracking uses aren't elaborated on. Like most other free services, Pie Adblock seems to collect cookies and user data, but the policy lacks transparency about how it’s used or shared.
Has anyone here used Pie Adblock? I’m curious what your experience has been, especially regarding privacy concerns. Should we be cautious about it, or am I overthinking it?
