#AppFatigue IPA: /æp/ /fəˈtiːɡ/ (n) The tendency to NOT install new apps on your mobile phone because you finally understand that most apps should just be a website so you can seamlessly use a service on a PC, laptop, tablet or mobile device.

I refuse to install apps on my phone now.
I have been building websites for 3 decades. I do not see the need to create another platform to force people to use.

Trackercontrol.org isn't a total solution, but it definitely helps.

@jwildeboer You also can't install an ad-blocker in an app.
@collimated_thought @jwildeboer Most ad tools in apps can be blocked with DNS adblockers

I noticed that I simply stopped caring about new apps a few years ago. When I get a new mobile phone, I have a rather small set of apps I install and that list is more or less the same since many years. Banking app, Signal, and a few more.
@jwildeboer I switched to a lightweight launcher app quite a few years ago now, KISS Launcher. Every time I do a big Google update or move phones I am pleasantly surprised that, like, nothing has changed. They move some stuff around in the settings, but my day-to-day UX is no longer their marketing playground.
Highly recommend it, with KISS or any other launcher.

Exactly, I find I suffer from that myself. Hardly any new apps are installed on my phone.

@jwildeboer exactly the same here, plus seriously starting to follow alternative OS options for smart phones

@jwildeboer For Android (I only use it as e-OS) see what https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/ has to say of the application you use or think of using.
