/e/OS 3.0 Debuts with Refined Parental Controls, New Privacy Tools and Murena

For more info about the new privacy features, see Advanced Privacy

Finding lost devices is easier, too, as there is now support for Find My Device via SMS, letting users locate their smartphones without an internet connection. It relies on SMS technology to provide geolocation for devices.

(It works by you sending a 8 letters code to the device, if correct, it will send back the location).

Similarly, /e/OS’s Advanced Privacy feature has got some buffs, where it now shows detailed weekly reports on app tracking and an overall Privacy Score to help users better understand how their data is handled. There’s also a new option to customize app geolocation access, letting users decide which apps see the device’s true location and which are shown a fake one.

Still casually 2 major/15 minor Chromium versions behind: Dockerfile · master · e / os / Browser · GitLab
