Leaving Apple and Google: /e/ first beta is here

Less than a year ago, I posted a serie of articles "Leaving Apple & Google..." [part 2, part 2] to announce that I was planning to create a smartphone OS. A new OS that would:be free from Google (no Google services, no Google search, no Google Play store, etc.)be far more respectful of user's data privacybe attractive enough so that Mom and Dad, children and friends would enjoy using it even if they aren't technophiles or geeksToday we release a first beta of what we have done so far to make the initial vision a reality.

It's basically LineageOS with a number of additional tweaks and changes, but if it can become a fully-featured Google-free Android, that's always welcome.
