I used the device for a month before returning it to them and I am going to share my experience with this privacy device. I forgot to take screenshots so I’ll be sharing the generic images from the official website.</p> <h2>Experiencing the /e/ mobile operating system on the ethical Fairphone device</h2> <p>Before I go any further, let me clear that Fairphone 3 is not the only option to get /e/ in your hands. The /e/ foundation gives you <a href="https://esolutions.shop/shop/" data-lasso-id="20612">a few smartphone options to choose</a> if you are buying a device from them. </p> <p>You don’t have to buy a device to use /e/ OS. As per the /e/ Foundation, you can <a rel="noopener" href="https://doc.e.foundation/devices/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://doc.e.foundation/devices/" target="_blank" data-lasso-id="20613">use it on over 100 supported devices</a>.</p> <p>Despite I enjoyed using the Fairphone 3, and my personal beliefs are in line with the Fairphone manifesto, I won’t focus my attention on the device but to the /e/ operating system only. </p> <h3>Apps with rated privacy</h3> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="510" src="https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/e-ecosystem.png" alt="e ecosystem" class="wp-image-88215" srcset="https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/e-ecosystem.png 768w, https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/e-ecosystem-300x199.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div> <p>I used Fairphone 3 as my daily driver for a couple of days, to compare the usage with my “ordinary” Android phone in reality. </p> <p>First and foremost I wanted to see if all the apps that I use, are available at the “<a rel="noopener" href="https://e.foundation/e-os-available-applications/" target="_blank" data-lasso-id="20614">App Store</a>” /e/ foundation has created.

This means that if someone really wants to use some Google service, it is still available as an option to download. Though unlike other Android devices, Google services are not forced down your throat. </p> <p>Though there are lot of apps available, I could not find the mobile banking app I use in the UK. I have to admit that the mobile banking app can contribute to a level of convenience. As an alternative, I had to access a computer to use the online banking platform if needed. </p> <p>From a usability point of view, /e/ OS could replace my “standard” Android OS with minor hiccups like the banking apps.</p> <h3>If not Google, then what?</h3> <p>Wondering what essential apps /e/ OS uses instead of the ones from Google? Here’s a quick list:</p> <ul><li><a href="https://www.magicearth.com/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.magicearth.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="20615">Magic Earth</a> – Turn by turn navigation</li><li>Web-browser – an ungoogled fork of Chromium</li><li>Mail – a fork of <a href="https://k9mail.app/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://k9mail.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="20616">K9-mail</a></li><li>SMS – a fork of QKSMS</li><li>Camera – a fork of OpenCamera</li><li>Weather – a fork of GoodWeather</li><li>OpenTasks – Task organizer </li><li>Calendar -Calendar: a fork of <a href="https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar" data-type="URL" data-id="https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="20617">Etar calendar</a> </li></ul> <h3>Bliss Launcher and overall design</h3> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="367" src="https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/fairphone.jpg" alt="fairphone" class="wp-image-88217" srcset="https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/fairphone.jpg 600w, https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/fairphone-300x184.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></figure></div> <p>The default launcher application of /e/ OS is called “Bliss Launcher” which aims to an attractive look and feel. To me, the design felt similar to iOS. </p> <p>By Swiping to the left panel, you can access a few useful widgets /e/ has selected.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="300" height="533" src="https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/e-bliss-launcher.jpg" alt="e bliss launcher in /e/ OS" class="wp-image-88218" srcset="https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/e-bliss-launcher.jpg 300w, https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/e-bliss-launcher-169x300.jpg 169w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div> <ul><li>Search: Quick search of pre-installed apps or search the web</li><li>APP Suggestions: The top 4 most used apps will appear on this widget</li><li>Weather: The weather widget is showing the local weather. It doesn’t automatically detect the location and it needs to be configured.</li><li>Edit: If you want more widgets on the screen, you can add them by clicking the edit button</li></ul> <p>All in all, the user interface is clean and neat. Being simple and straightforward enhances a pleasant user experience.</p> <h3 id="degoogling--ungoogling">DeGoogled and privacy oriented OS</h3> <p>As mentioned earlier /e/ OS is a Google-free operating system which is based on an open source core of <a rel="noopener" href="https://lineageos.org/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://lineageos.org/" target="_blank" data-lasso-id="20618">Lineage OS</a>. All the Google apps have been removed and the Google services have been replaced with the Micro G framework. The /e/ OS is still compatible with all Android apps.</p> <h4>Key privacy features:</h4> <ul><li>Google search engine has been replaced with alternatives such as DuckDuckGo</li><li>Google Services have been replaced by microG framework</li><li>Alternative default apps are used instead of Google Apps</li><li>Connectivity check against Google servers is removed</li><li>NTP servers have been replaced with the standard NTP service: pool.ntp.orgs</li><li>DNS default servers are replaced by 9.9.9.9 and can be edited to user’s choice</li><li>Geolocation is using Mozilla Location Services on top of GPS</li></ul> <div style="color:#32373c;background-color:#00d1b2" class="wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-notice gb-font-size-18 gb-block-notice" data-id="82481e"><div class="gb-notice-title" style="color:#fff"><p>Privacy notice</p></div><div class="gb-notice-text" style="border-color:#00d1b2"><p>Please be mindful that using a smartphone, provided by /e/ foundation doesn’t automatically mean that your privacy is guaranteed no matter what you do. Social media apps that share your personal information should be used under your awareness.</p></div></div> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>I have been an Android user for more than a decade. /e/ OS surprised me positively. A privacy concerned user can find this solution very appealing, and depending on the selected apps and settings can feel secure again using a smartphone. </p> <p>I could recommend it to you if you are a privacy aware tech-savvy and can find your way around things on your own. The /e/ ecosystem is likely to be overwhelming for people who are used to of mainstream Google services.</p> <p>Have you used /e/ OS? How was your experience with it? What do you think of projects like these that focus on privacy?</p>  </article> <div class="post-tags content-width"> </div> <div class="social-share content-width m-b-lg"> <a
