From /e/'s site, de-googling (because the review didn't go in depth on this):
- To remove or disable any feature or code that is sending data to Google servers, or at least to anonymize those accesses
- To offer non-Google default online services, including for search.
- the Google default search engine is removed and replaced by other services
- Google Services are replaced by microG and alternative services
- All Google apps are removed and replaced by equivalent Open Source applications. The one exception is the Maps Application (Looks like it also uses Google's browser Chromium, though with privacy patches)
- No use of Google servers to check connectivity
- NTP servers are not Google NTP servers anymore
- DNS default servers are not Google anymore, and their settings can be enforced by the user to a specific server
- Geolocation is using Mozilla Location Services in addition to GPS
- CalDAV/CardDAV management and synchronization application (DAVDroid) is fully integrated with the user account and calendar/contact application

- butterNaN 4y agoI wonder why these FOSS-y projects don't bundle Firefox for Mobile with them. It is a far superior experience with Add-Ons. In fact, I don't even use most apps anymore, most websites' web versions are more than adequate nowadays. In fact at least in one instance viz. Duolingo, the web experience is far superior than the app.
- derkades 4y agoI agree that Firefox is great, and addon support is one of the reasons why it is my browser of choice. However, chromium is faster and more secure.
