Noticing the major #Weather apps on #Android becoming more obnoxious. A few #AdSupported apps have gone from one or two advertising panels to four or five ! A few have privacy dashboards that don't work at all.Some are scraping location data without user notification. Installing a #VPN and browsing weather eliminates a lot of this nonsense. Also going outside and looking up is still fairly unobtrusive
