    It’s a brand new device that I used for the first time and I think it happened because I was logged into several other things at the same time to test it.

    Instagram prompted me for the profile I wanted to use while in private mode and that was when I realized that I never provided the password.

        that’s exactly my point – 3rd parties are sharing data w each other enabling tracking that defeats most opsec postures.

          I mean, unless you avoid all the trackers, at least as much as possible. You can at least lessen it if you’re smart about it.

            yes, my take away from this experience is that i need to update my opsec practices because the ones i currently use are no longer effective.
