presented the release of the mobile platform /e/os 1.6 aimed at Preservation of custom data confidentiality. The platform is founded by Gael Duvans ( provides firmware for many popular models of smartphones, as well as under the brands of Murena One, Murena Fairfone 3+/4 and Murena Galaxy S9 offers the editorial offices of smartphones OnePlus One, Fairphone 3+/4 and Samsung Galaxy S9 with a predefined firmware/E/OS. In total, about 300 smartphones are officially supported.

Firmware /E /OS is developing as a branch from the Android platform (used Lineageos achievements), delivered from the binding to the services of Google, which allows you to maintain compatibility with Android applications and simplify supporting support equipment, and on the other hand, block the transmission of telemetry to Google servers and ensure a high level of confidentiality. The implicit sending of information is also blocked, for example, an appeal to Google servers when checking the availability of a network, DNS resolving and determining the exact time.

A Microg Pack is preinstalled to interact with Google services, which allows you to do without installation of proprietary components and offers independent analogues instead of Google services. For example, to determine the location by Wi-Fi and the base stations (without GPS), a layer based on Mozilla Location Service is involved. Instead of the Google search engine, its own meta -risk service based on the engine for the engine Searx , which ensures the anonymity of the sent queries.

For synchronizing the exact time, instead of Google NTP, NTP POOL PROJECT is used, and instead of the GOOGLE DNS servers (8.8.8.8)-the current provider. The default web browser includes an advertisement lock and scripts to track movements. For synchronization of files and data of applications, your own service has been developed that can work with infrastructure based on NEXTCLOUD. Server components are based on open software and available for installation on systems controlled by the user.
