Wait, so any app on Android with network access can just open a localhost port and then a browser script can share all your private browsing data via that port? Even on GrapheneOS? How is that not restricted?? What's stopping your banking apps or "sandboxed" Google Play store from doing this and tracking everything?

Based on the article, it sounds like those websites need to be running a script to do such things. Meta is in far more places than you'd expect. So what's stopping your banking app? The fact that other sites have no reason to run anything from your bank.
