MODERATORS
/e/ has good but not perfect privacy. It still contains connections to Google and they added a tracking parameter to their update calls.
Their update cycles are very slow. You are usually one to two months behind monthly security updates. Full bulletins are a year behind and Webview is a problem as well. They ignore this point and do not realize, that Insuffizienz security is a privacy risk AS well.
So if you want good privacy with a convenient user experience and without thoughts about security, here you go.
