Tapatalk privacy concern

[hitbyambulance]

is this known to OOadmins?

In Tapatalk 5.3.0 a "user sync" feature has been introduced. The changelog does not say anything about this. But the file function_server.php contains code that sends the full user DB (user ids, usernames, email addresses, user settings) to the Tapatalk servers. Seriously?

Apparently it was an opt-in/out option for new forums -- existing forums were not affected. But seriously, fuck those guys. The Tapatalk staff are borderline scumbags, most certainly douche bags.

I hate this kind of crap, but a lot of people use it -- so I begrudgingly support it. If it was solely my choice, I'd rip it out and never look back.

Are there any better alternatives? The mobile web version sucks donkey balls in comparison.

Well to be fair the mobile version isn't a huge private information siphon operating in the background run by a bunch of douche bags... Well ok, I don't have a private information siphon anyways.
