Linguistic note for the tender: “you’re” is used here by me like “one”, as in general 3rd person, and not directed at any particular poster.
Very similar tracker issue was raised before,
though there is now an explicit tracking warning in Fennec’s description…
So little time, so little trust…
No other app I ever used from F-droid had any trackers.
What about that ACRA tracker reported by CS3x for F-droid app itself? (rhetorical)
FYI, the reproducible build “streets” at Guardian and F-droid intersect with @eighthave .
So, F-droid and Guardian project may well be a joint US/UK “con game” honeypot operation being run by the usual agencies. Or maybe CS3x is a French counter-counter operation… Unless you’re paranoid or criminal, for practical purposes, I think Tor browser works quite well. That’s why I don’t worry about those trackers, stubs or not, or a reproducible build “con game” too much. To more 3xplicitly answer your question.
Maybe a d3velop3r can explain the difficulty completely removing trackers from browsers (and OSs).
One could also ask CS3x developers if one has found a false positive.
