Trackers in mobile apps are the most underestimated vector to track people.

Beside Murena smartphones, no other smartphones or mobile OS protect users from this kind of threat.

I’ve never used an Android phone that felt this clean and private
Murena's /e/OS tries to keep as much of the Android experience intact as possible while removing excess trackers and Google services.

☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.

Haters have not limit: this is a FAKE job position posted at UpWork for a crypto/Web3 community manager.

Probably it will be referred to in our (so poor and innacurate) Wikipedia page, to add more discredit.
