I appreciate eOS and Fairphone as a de-googled product. But what the hell did the marketing think, when it allowed Google doubleclick, tagmanager and other trackers on the fairphone.com-website? This will destroy your credibility - your core value.
Welcome to the community forum.
Doubtful for more than one reason.
Privacy-aware users like to wishfully underestimate the number of people who donât have a problem with Google at all. So while the situation might not be privacy-ideal, many just wonât care, and then there are still tracker blockers in the browsers.
And the core value of Fairphone? Please read the first word in the biggest font on the website currently (for those not bothering, itâs Sustainability) ⌠and then /e/OS is the degoogled product, supplied by the e foundation, not only on Fairphones (but Fairphone have a partnership with them).
Fun fact: My tracker blocker blocks something from Google on the e foundation website, perhaps you might want to head over to their community, e foundation are the ones attempting to do the degoogling .
(Disclaimer: Iâm using /e/OS myself.)

Hell is for the miners digging out gold so each of us privileged bags of s**t can have a phone

OH! and to repeat Fairphone is focused on reducing the exploitation of said miners and factory workers, and if I canât deal with a bit google crap I hope I grow up a bit and take it on the chin.
The average user doesnât care about privacy online. Why would they care about double-click?
And what does âdoubleclickâ do, arenât we using Android anyway?
Underrated point. Degoogled Android is still Android, still mainly done and supplied by Google with some degoogling tweaks by degoogling projects afterwards (ok, that was overly simplified, for details see documentation by said projects, thereâs more to it than some tweaks).
Underrated, Google are well overrated, like they think they can take over the world, Ha! They are welcome to it
I understand where youâre coming from, but there might be some confusion here: Fairphoneâs main goals do not include Privacy, if you check their website, those goals are (I quote) âSustainabilityâ and âFairnessâ. Thatâs all.
Just check their mission statement page: Privacy isnât mentioned anywhere⌠(Would be quite hard using the standard Google Android anywayâŚ)
The confusion stems from the fact the sets of privacy-conscious and sustainability-conscious users have a large overlap, but they are definitely not the same.
