Bitwarden F-Droid Build v2024.3.2 Removes Trackers

That’s great news indeed!

Now if they could consider implementing some sort of sorting and more advanced filtering that would be a huge plus, along with dupe control

If the app is hosted at its own F-Droid repository, devs can add whatever they want. I wouldn’t be surprised if that build is the exact same one as the Play Store one.

Nevertheless, good step for users! I wonder how devs will get crash reports and such stuff now, though…

Why were there trackers initially?

It was actually a mistake. They were removed years ago specifically for the fdroid builds, but were reintroduced at some point on accident. Annoying mistake for sure

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

And Google Firebase is what non-degoogled Android uses for notifications

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

How? For 2023.10.0 appmanager’s scanner does not show any of those, and it is usually very through (even right now it has identified 54 programming libraries)
