EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

Sync seems great, but it has three Google trackers included, so I'm not using it. Jerboa, Connect and Voyager are great, but they all have some downsides. My keyboard is weird in Jerboa, Connect does not allow me to sort by subscribed and Voyager's comment-upvote system is a bit clunky, being hidding behind another tap. Also, Voyager's UI generally looks like it's made for iPhone, which is not what I'm looking for. But for the moment I'll stick with it.
Ad free version removes the trackers
I have the Duck Duck Go app for Android and it has a tracker blocker feature. It has to utilize a local VPN though , so if you use a VPN you can't use that at the same time. But, the app blocks known trackers for all apps. I love it
Just downloaded Voyager to give it a try, and there's an "Androud UI" toggle in the settings
You're right!
Oh man I didn't realize the problem of Google trackers, I guess it's time to uninstall it then, even though it's really slick.
