There are lots of good FOSS options.

I would strongly recommend checking this site for the trackers in an app if you're at all concerned about privacy. Links to each app's exodus privacy report is also at the end of the table linked above.

FYI, Nova has been owned by a data mining company for many years and it is worth moving away from even if you think it is good enough now and doesn't need updates.

Mirrored the site. Pro: No direct access to shitty "AI" site, it not a living hell for NoScript users (original site immediately redirects to a static "JS Disabled" site which is not on the main domain, therefore you don't know for which domains you have to enable JS), does not fuck with CTRL+C and does not fuck over your current browser history.
