Instagram’s In-App Browser Overrides Tracking Restrictions to Spy on You
Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, has been injecting code into websites its users visit so that the company can track them across the internet after they click links in its apps.
Ex-Google Engineer and privacy researcher, Felix Krause discovered that Meta has been taking advantage of the fact that users who click on links are taken to webpages in its in-app browser that is controlled by Instagram and Facebook in order to follow everything they do across the web.
