Its no work, it only takes a second. Download Googles classyshark app. The fdroid version contains the embedded exodusprivacy database.
Whenever you install a new app scan it with classyshark and you will instantly know if the app will be tracking you or not.
This way you don’t have to believe strangers on the internet: trust but verify for yourself.

From reading other posts it sounds like it is only for crash reporting and that the user has to click to provide the report in the event of a crash. It also appears to be documented in their policy docs so it’s not exactly like it’s anything underhanded.
If the user doesn’t trust that their data will be safe, couldn’t the domain attached to the tracker found by Classyshark be blocked using something like NextDNS or RethinkDNS to prevent any data from connecting to said domain?
