Basically, my entire system is FOSS but I'm tempted to install the Spotify .deb package. Would that give Spotify access to info about my system?

The web app is (deliberately) limited in comparison to the desktop app.

The only limitation I've seen is the inability to download for offline listening. Other than that, especially on Brave, I get fully ad-free listening without any issues aside from a couple seconds of pause in between where the ad breaks used to be.

Ah, well I wasn't able to add to a group playlist in the web app.

Maybe it's not as bad as I thought, idk.

Group playlist? I've never used that feature, but I know you can add things to playlists on the web version, and you can make those playlists public as far as I know.

Yeah, well it said I had to download the app in order to do that. It was the first time I've used Spotify in years, though, so maybe there's a workaround or something.
