/e/OS is a de-Googled Android fork developed by the e Foundation, based in France. It replaces Google Play Services with microG for app compatibility, substitutes Google DNS and NTP servers with privacy-respecting alternatives, and ships a built-in tracker blocker and per-app privacy scoring. Murena sells phones with /e/OS pre-installed, and a web-based installer supports flashing it onto a range of existing devices.
Our take
For users who want a daily-driver Android experience without handing data to Google, /e/OS does more out of the box than most alternatives: the tracker scoring, microG compatibility layer, and easy installer lower the barrier considerably compared to a manual LineageOS setup. The trade-off is that microG is not a perfect Google Services drop-in, so a small number of apps that require attestation or proprietary APIs will not work correctly. Best suited to users who can tolerate occasional app friction and want a French-foundation-backed, community-auditable OS rather than building something themselves from scratch.
