Well, people support it. In the end people are supporting their own doom.

It infringes the app owner/developers rights, including copyright. They've resold paid apps from the Google Play Store which is highly illegal in many countries.

You have the right to file a complaint to a applicable data protection authority.

Just because something happens in a GDPR region, doesn't mean it is legal. I see GDPR violations everyday.

I would strongly recommend against it, from a security and data protection perspective due: "No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability! Note that Iceraven Browser includes some unstable code written by Mozilla, with our own added modifications on top, all shipped with the stable version of GeckoView engine. Hence, the browser may contain bugs introduced upstream. Binaries are currently built automatically by our Github release automation. These binaries are signed with a debug key. When we finally publish this somewhere official like F-droid, we will sign the apks with a proper key suitable for public release. Due to the current way we create the releases and sign them, you may not want to rely on such "alpha" quality software as your primary web browser, as it will have bugs. So, use this browser only if you are comfortable with these limitations/potential risks."

  • APKpure is a shady and illegal website. Don't use it.
  • Waterfox must be published by BrowserWorks Ltd. (the company behind it) on F-Droid to be available there; the creator repeatedly confirmed that he plans to do so but has never kept his promise about when it will happen. So, I'm sure it will happen at some point, but at worst it could be years before it does.
  • Fennec is a fork of Firefox with proprietary code removed, UnifiedPush support, and removed third-party tracking code. It's by F-Droid themselves.

I just reviewed the page; it's so messed up. I mean, TOS;DR had issues in the past already, but this breaks it completly.

"Service claims to be GDPR compliant": 👍 (it isn't)

Consider "HERE WeGo"

https://wego.here.com/

It does not fit the FOSS philosophy, but is by an European company based in the Netherlands, more privacy-respecting and works for me just as good as Google Maps did.
