  1. Regarding "burner" accounts: yeah, it's definitely less good for privacy than a pool of anonymous accounts, but it's better than nothing. It's pseudonymity vs. anonymity. A network admin's analog: the first is akin to routing the network traffic you want to sandbox through a VPN running off of a Linode server you're renting. The second is akin to using TOR. At best, you're creating a valuable profile of "V Google 💩" which can be marketed towards. At worst, a single link (i.e. location data) can be used to identify the burner as Veronica's Google 💩 and allow whoever to combine the data between the accounts.

  2. Ironically (and if memory serves) the very first smartphone jailbreak method was web-based, leveraging an exploit in Safari on iOS 1.0. I used it to install a third-party app store on my OG iPod Touch back before the first-party store even existed.
