    At 57 apps, this isn’t the browser. This is likely a collection of absolutely cancerous apps (Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.) that are responsible for the egregious amounts of tracking /e/OS partly blocks.

    Also, don’t be fooled into thinking you can use these apps in a privacy-friendly way. Just because you’re running software that blocks any additional tracking, spying on you is built into their core functionality and cannot be disabled. The only way to win the game is not to play it.

      Or use a module like XPL-EX to sandbox the app and randomize any information. You’ll need LSPosed and Magisk.

      It isn’t foolproof, but at least allows for a better privacy than installing it normally.

      The foolproof way is of course not using it at all.

        I’m afraid that misses the point. You can randomise device and network identifiers all you want: if you are using an account, which all of the above require you to do, you’re identifiable, and all your activity will be tied to the account.
