Mobile apps illegally share your personal data
I use and love DuckDuckGo Android app! The pinned favorites, the tabs not accumulating forever like in Chrome, it's just great all around!
But it's not as privacy-friendly as you'd think. For example all favorites and bookmarks favicons are routed through their server. Which would be nice as an option, but you can't opt out. They pinky-swear they don't log it, though.

We fixed this issue a long time ago.

What are some open source android projects that you can go to see Best practices or how they implemented stuff
DDG https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android

Go FOSS: Information is power
Lots of things I like about the site. For one, I value that privacy has been highlighted.
They feature Firefox but it requires so much work to tweak. I feel this is a reflex recommendation though I do, very much, like that FF allows itself to be tweaked.
On the Desktop... I much prefer LibreWolf - which I didn't see listed. It is what Firefox should be.
On mobile, I prefer DuckDuckGo's Android browser. Firefox mobile comes bundled with 3 trackers! Why must you always shoot yourself in the foot, Mozilla? It's never ending.
DDG is not only open source (https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android) but it also does not have a single tracker. If that wasn't enough, it comes with a module called App Tracking Protection. It's brilliant. It blocks trackers from other apps. I cannot recommend this enough. The sheer amount of information collected from apps on your phone...
I have had apps at 30 attempts in the first few seconds and reach 1,000 tracking attempts within 1/2 an hour. Every single item - from contacts to specific location - is constantly being polled. Every app seems to be running spyware from various vendors - even my banking app.
Wall of text, time to stop. Nice site, love that it's not afraid to be technical.

Some FOSS Alternative Apps for You
Google Search - DuckDuckGo

Debian's Chromium changes default search engine to DDG
What a mistake
It is literally against anything Debian has done the past decades
Why would they choose a proprietary software and proprietary service?
Chrome at least has a BSD like license and is open source [1]
Literally nobody can confirm DDG's privacy claims, they refused every independent audits and your search is leaking to their servers [2], it happened again [3]

DuckDuckGo browser now blocks all third-party Microsoft trackers
Am I missing something? Is the DDG mobile browser not FOSS? There's a Github repo and it's licensed under Apache...
Handy-News-Reader
- can someone suggest a good rss reader for android please?
-
Privacy oriented rss feed that I can put my own links and turn them into a rss feed
The best RSS reader will depend on the platform you are using, for example on macOS and iOS there's NetNewsWire, on GNOME there's Feeds, on Windows (albeit it's also available on other platforms) there's Fluent Reader, on Nextcloud there's Nextcloud News, on Android there used to be Flym, but recent Play Store rule changes led to its archival with Handy News Reader being the most active fork.
