Despite being a free product, free search engines make a lot of money. Kagi’s Why Pay for Search says that, “In 2022 Google generated USD $224.47 Billion dollars from advertisement revenue while processing approximately 8 Billion searches per day. At 365 days per year this amounts to approximately USD $0.07 revenue per search. If an average user searches 5 times per day, assuming a 30 day month this results in Google generating USD $11 revenue per user per month.
Its interesting to see that sentry is not on the exodus website. I emailed them once when another tracking analytics product was not listed on the website and they said it was an omission and added it. I believe the list is not automated.
On the other hand, exodus has a OSS app on fdroid called classyshark. When you point it to an app, it scans the source of every Java class and reports exactly which methods contain tracking code. You can even read the methods themselves and see exactly what data is being collected and sent. Note: this is true, real time source evidence and far superior to any company’s “trust us bro” privacy policy.
I use FOSS only software on my devices and do not install apps with 3rd party tracking, telemetry and analytics but if I recall correctly, if you run the exodus tool against some of the Mozilla based browsers like Fennec or Mull I believe that you can see the sentry code in action there. Sentry is a popular analytics company, they collect and aggregate telemetry data, that is what they do. There can be little privacy expectations when apps on your phone or websites you visit are collecting and sending your generated data to 3rd party companies. Almost all of these companies also share this data with their 3rd party “business partners”. So once the data is out of your control, it is virtually destined to end up aggregated with data brokers. Sentry is popular so it will be in a lot of other apps as well but I didn’t see any on my device.
“I believe”, “If I recall correctly”, “I believe” … Yeah, but you’re wrong. Wrong about this and wrong about everything else. You don’t even understand what sentry.io does, and what kind of information they receive from their customers.

Funny that once you pulled out actual information, they had nothing to say. Classic.
