Why is OnlyOffice recommended on Privacy Guides? (it has 7 trackers)

only office android app has:
3 facebook trackers
4 google trackers

wtf…

what is a better alternative?

Maybe you could take a look at Collabora?

in settings, disable: share application analytics

collabora is very slow and freeze sometimes on pixel 6a.
don’t know why.

what has that to do with it?

if you only need a document editor for android and don’t care about cloud features, you could also just deny network permission to the app, then nothing* is getting out regardless of what “trackers” are bundled

*I guess technically inter-app IPC could do something but if you’re on PG you probably would want to degoogle anyway

there’s always room for improvement here on PG’s. well done on discovering this. I use google sheets on my GOS p6a w network off :rofl::person_shrugging: snappy compared to collabora office.

There is no such setting in the iOS version. I really think this should be mentioned. Not everyone will look at the app privacy section

Sorry, turns out it can be disabled. You have to go to the app from the iOS system settings.

Personally I see 5, but yep still outrageous. I think PG recommend OK only the PC version but I am not sure.

Very unfortunate that this kind of behavior is becoming default even in FOSS.

Opt-out telemetry is evil.
