[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1022521, member: 55987"] Bitwarden also not on F-droid since I downloaded the last and latest version from there. Strange? It's still available on github though. If future BW version not found on F-Driod or Droid-ify then I'll give BW up if it's on Google Play Store Quote from above link When it comes to [I]trackers[/I] (this really comes up a lot), you shouldn’t believe in the flawed idea that you can enumerate all of them. The [I]enumerating badness[/I] approach is [URL='https://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/']known to be flawed in the security field[/URL], and the same applies to privacy. You shouldn’t believe that a random script can detect every single line of code that can be used for data exfiltration. Data exfiltration can be properly prevented in the first place by the permission model, which again [B]denies access to sensitive data by default[/B]: this is a simple, yet rigorous and effective approach. Unquote I'm trying my best to use apps without trackers.......in my upcoming new phone. I know Google Play Store has more apps with trackers over F-Driod. If Google Play Store can just get rid of Google trackers (apart from others) I would gladly download apps from there. FI, the latest F-Droid version is v1.15.6 and not v1.15.2 stated in the video [/QUOTE]
