Is Thunderbird Mail safe to use privacywise?
-
Mozilla's telemetry change in Thunderbird Android makes me say "find a different client."
Generally, you should pick and choose your battles. Mozilla on the whole isn't a company whose software I trust anymore.

FairEmail has a good reputation.
-
Awesome. I'll take a look, thanks
-
Does Betterbird even remove telemetry from Thunderbird? From my knowledge they only add a few Bugfixes and recompile the binary. Never heard them talking about telemetry, tracking etc. Does anybody know?
-
This is normal usage stats. Every app has that. You can opt out and you get asked when launching the app the first time. This isn't that bad.
-
Stop gaslighting me.
-
This section of their website says no telemetry reports are submitted:

This!! FairEmail is amazing!

I keep having to log in on Evolution. If I knew what I was doing I would stay on it but for now I'm on Betterbird.
FairEmail is a good switch for Android.

Did you even read what you linked?

What is the point of using anything Mozilla if it's just going to do the same shit as the services we keep trying to avoid, only worse?
Mozilla has fallen, it is no longer focused on privacy. I get that companies need money to operate, but there are alternatives to just poking holes to be profitable (while calling yourself "not-for-profit").
Everything under the Mozilla umbrella is questionable, at best.

Meanwhile chrome uploads a log of everything you do to google, and ad blockers don't work anymore
-
You're absolutely right. Chrome is the worst offender, no question about that.
I'm guessing that the requirements for a PR job with Mozilla say "removed people preferred".
