@rodolforg @Lacze @kris @Vivaldi /e/ has very poor privacy and atrocious security despite how it's marketed. It doesn't keep up with crucial standard privacy and security patches or protections. It consistently lags weeks to many months behind on patches to the Android Open Source Project and Chromium. It typically lags many months or years behind on Linux kernel updates. Firmware, driver and HAL updates are often not provided at all. An OS without basic privacy and security patches isn't safe.

@rodolforg @Lacze @kris @Vivaldi They include a bunch of invasive apps and services in the OS. They send user data to OpenAI and other third parties without consent. Despite being heavily marketed as avoiding Google and portraying privacy as being all about that when it isn't, /e/ adds a bunch of default enabled Google services. They give extensive privileged access to those Google services and other Google apps. They download and run Google Play code with privileged access by default.
