    On some technical level you may be correct, but their site claims that /e/os is degoogled.

    https://e.foundation/e-os/

    /e/OS is a “deGoogled” version of Android OS. It has an open-source Android OS core, with no Google apps or Google services accessing your personal data.

    • Google default search engine has been removed from the OS everywhere and replaced with our new ethical search engine: Murena Find
    • Google Services have been replaced by microG
    • Connectivity checks do not use Google servers
    • We do not use Google’s Network Time Protocol servers
    • We do not use Google’s Domain Name System servers
    • Geolocation uses BeaconDB Location Services in addition to GPS

    So I would love to know more about what you’re talking about.

      their site claims

      Yes, they lie. GrapheneOS is the only fully degoogled android based OS, full stop.

        What are they lying about? What part of their OS is not degoogled?
