Bitwarden F-Droid Build v2024.3.2 Removes Trackers

RedNighttoPrivacy@lemmy.ml·7 months ago

Exciting news! Trackers being built into the Bitwarden F-Droid app for who knows how long have been removed

https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/commit/f343a2cdbb5895fb518ed963b30c0d9822db2c74

Previously two trackers were introduced: Google Firebase and Microsoft AppCrashes

It’s normal to track crashes and utilization to make software better, I don’t think they tracked to sell data for advertising in bitwarden case

    Even more, I think it’s basically the only way. Lichess app got removed from vanilla F-Droid because of that.
