I'm glad these researchers actually came up with a solution that doesn't hurt any party so much as make it slightly inconvenient for developers when developing their apps. Kudos to the NCSU researchers.

Interresting. "Android" is open it's why you can build statistic like this.
Imagine what is the statistic for Apple as a "closed" form.

Remember it's Apple that being pursuit by FCC due to fraudulent privacy settings.

The best solution would be for Google, Apple and other mobile platform providers to take the lead in providing effective ad-isolation mechanisms.”
Gee. I wonder why the authors said this?? Perhaps because gaggle and crApple don't care about privacy? I guess some people think that gaggle will do no harm. If you believe that, I have a deal for you. :)

Rooting your android and throwing it away makes the world a better place.

There will always be idiotic developers who value short term profits over the downloaders. Who cares about all of hatred if you're rolling in easily-acquired money?
