Excessive amounts of logging

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Recently I migrated from Raivo OTP to 2FAS because the original developer of that app sold it to some shady no-name company. What bothers me is that there are an excessive amounts of logging, even when the anonymous crash reports setting is disabled. image Why? If you claim to respect users privacy and anonymity, why isn't there a setting to disable this?

Hi @drlaserdev , the first one is from the API of the Push Notifications for Browser Extension. It is registering prematurely and we're reworking it, so it will only register the device when BE is used for the first time.
Second one is indeed Crashlytics which even when disabled calls home. We're not alone with this problem (just google the API address) but we're experimenting with a solution.

Oh okay, thank you for the explanation. Perhaps you should consider something more private or even self host-able like SupaBase or PocketBase as an alternative to Google Firebase, though I'm not sure they provide a crashlytics alternative. Sentry.io might be great too.

@drlaserdev yeah, we had Sentry connected, but then people complained about it 🙂

You can disable Firebase crash reports by going to Settings -> About -> Send anonymous crash reports.
