/e/OS is just another android rom, and unlike calyxOS or grapheneOS, /e/OS isn't very privacy focused. There's some weird stuff regarding a hidden "license id" and some of their services rely in openAI. You might as well just use a "real" privacy-first android rom if you're trying to get away from tech giants, their tracking and closed source software.

That's interesting. Where can I learn more about the lack of safety features and the connection to OpenAI? Seems pretty surprising, especially considering they tout safety and data privacy as their primary selling point.

My main source regarding the privacy/security stuff is this blog (in German). To be clear, /e/ isn't bad on that front, the alternatives are just better.

You can read mode on the OpenAI integration in the /e/OS forums and the fairphone forums.

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing! Definitely concerning, especially the openAI stuff. I guess I will take a look at grapheneOS again, but I just hate the idea that I need to buy a google product in order to use it.

CalyxOS development is paused right now but it's still available and campatible with more devices. I wouldn't recommend a currently unsupported OS but personally I'm still using it on my Pixel 7a. I had some google integration issues in GrapheneOS, plus I prefer the focus on privacy instead of security.
