Awesome! This was the one feature I was missing from EOS
I think as other people mentioned, it’s important to understand how data is used by this company. My assumption is that it will never be worst of Google, as they are a British company but you never know.
I’ll be honest, I don’t expect my purchases to ever be private, they are monetized by Mastercard, my bank, online payment providers like stripe and then the shop itself, no getting around that without regulation.
The reason I switched to EOS was because one day I found I don’t know how to turn my phone off because Google put their shitty AI to the power button keybind, and I was fed up with my phone not doing what I expect.
