This sadly is in line with Mozilla’s increasingly bad privacy defaults. Users who care have moved on to more reasonable configurd forks at this point (e.g. Librewolf).

The reported tracker is ACRA, a crash report library (https://github.com/ACRA/acra).

I digged a bit into the source code and the apk. From looking at the code alone one can’t tell if the crash report is actually enabled, the build configuration depends on some unpublished file. But looking into the apk allows to reconstruct it. These are my findings:

• the usage is implemented here: https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/voiceinput/-/blob/master/app/src/main/java/org/futo/voiceinput/CrashLoggingApplication.kt
• the crash handler is compiled in and also enabled (BuildConfig.ENABLE_ACRA=true)
• the crash handler is configured to dialog mode. According to the ACRA documentation (https://www.acra.ch/docs/Interactions#dialog) that means that user interaction is required for sending (a popup dialog with a cancel button).
• the upload domain is crash.sapples.net
• the dialog can’t be disabled via settings
• the usage of ACRA is missing in the licenses and about dialogs (https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/voiceinput/-/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/license-list.html)
• the privacy policy is correctly stated (https://voiceinput.futo.org/VoiceInput/PrivacyPolicy)

  4.1. If the app crashes, you may be asked if you wish to submit a crash report. If you accept, your device information and crash details will be sent to us for the purposes of investigating the crash and improving the software.

ich denk mir halt, dass die den Rest der Mineralstoffe (Kalium, Magnesium, etc.) wohl auch nicht ganz grundlos da in ihre Mischungen hauen. Ich kann mir halt nur echt nicht erklären, wie die auf ihre Preise kommen

Sagen wir mal so: wenn die Hersteller die ganzen Sachen nicht beimischen würden, würdest du das Produkt dann zu diesen hohen Preisen kaufen? Ich denke da hast du meine Antwort warum das beigemischt wird.

You may want to rework your privacy policy. It contadicts itself:

We do not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic Google Analytics tracking

14. Analytics: We do not use any third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

They video was quiet promising. However looking at the app website shows that what was a false promise. The app does track every single launch and sends that to their servers (see privacy policy) not legal without consent in the EU. Calling this “tracker free” is more than misleading here. I’d call it a lie actually.

This. Regulators are a joke

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.

Das ist selbstverständlich Blödsinn. Eine Lösung die das Problem nicht löst under nicht umsetzbar ist ist eben keine Lösung sondern Populismus.

In addition, Huawei now blocks sideloading Android apps to promote its ecosystem growth.

Well looks like I’m never going to get a device from this manufacturer then.
