Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”

      Yep. I’m furious at Mozilla right now. But when the Firefox Phone was in development, they were one of the web’s heroes.

          I’m mostly just frustrated that the best option has now become merely the lesser evil.
