I’m reviving this because I noticed another reason that makes further recommendation of PrivacyBlur questionable: Updates, or the lack thereof.
PrivacyBlur is available for Google Play Store, F-Droid and Apple App Store. There’s also a Website and a GitHub Repo with the last commit being made on Feb 15 2022.
This is of course a very long time to go by without activity.
Frankly, it’s been abandoned for at least 19 months.
I said at least because the iOS version was dropped even before that:
- v2.1.6-full from Jan 10 2022 was the last update on Play Store
- v2.1.6-foss managed to find its way to F-Droid on Jan 18 2022
- Meanwhile the last update in the App Store was v2.1.2 from Jun 29 2021
That was more than two years or about 28 months ago.
TLDR We all need to be very careful not to rush this, but it might be time to start rethinking this* recommendation
