I don't think so, but you can check the website on your normal browser to see how many pings you get in software like PB, Ublock Origin etc.
For Fediverse websites, they normally produce no pings at all so the privacy/security software isn't needed for them.
Web apps have much less access to your phone's data so they tend to be inherently safer anyway. That's why some companies push their app store apps so heavily instead of websites, they want your data.

OK, but wondering if you click on a link in the web app, does it then fire off your default browser including any plug-ins? So that would be fine. Or is it some default browser without the plugins?

It does exactly what the app store app would do and open it in a browser window.

No experience with web apps, but just want to say that simply using the web interface (browsing to the instance web address) does everything and is a very good experience. Have never found the need for anything else.
You can save the shortcut link to your desktop (PC) or homescreen (mobile) and access your account with one clip.
Nothing against web apps, but this works just fine, and always the latest software. KISS principle.

The web app IS the web interface, but packaged in a way that lets it be used more like an app store app (full screen interface, notifications etc). If you enjoy the web interface you will enjoy the web app 🙂
It also doesn't interfere with your browsing sessions on your main browser, it is a totally separate session and you can leave it logged in.

Sounds pretty much how it works just saving the shortcut, but will give it a try. Thank you, as always, Fedi Tips!
