We were recently made aware of multiple potential DNS leaks on Android. They stem from bugs in Android itself, and only affect certain apps.

      They can change small thing or two, but nothing at the core. Look: when Samsung add something to Android vs when Google.

            That is the definition “stock” for me as well. What @Tundra@lemmy.ml mentions is the definition of “default”. Big difference.

              Fair enough - we are agreed at least then that the default android os is awful for privacy.

                We all agree on that, I’m sure. Have a great Sunday, guys.
