Donate - Divested Computing
divested.dev

Sharing this because it’s one of the most promising Android projects we recommend on Privacy Guides, and it would be a huge detriment to the Android/Privacy community at large if this developer is no longer able to continue this work :(

Happy New Year!

DivestOS and the Divested projects as they currently stand are ultimately unsustainable.

My goal for 2023 was to acquire a grant to continue my work, I was unsuccessful.

Today I am announcing a fundraiser of raising $12,000 USD by end of February.

It may be a stretch to ask, but I hope you all have found sufficient value in my work to keep these projects going.

If it is unsuccessful I will switch to a full-time job and the Divested projects will take a backseat.

To those who have donated, I truly appreciate your support.

Thank you - Tavi/Tad.

      I wouldn’t say he develops fennec, he contributes to fennec. relan develops fennec. Mull depends on fennec to remove proprietary blobs and builds it along with user.js from arkenfox.

    These projects are great, and I donated, to be sustainable these need to be group efforts, not a single person’s passion project.

    I don’t use any of their roms or apps but will donate $1-5

    Have heard good things about the project, and there’s actually not that many similar projects out there

    I’m not a heavy user of the Divested ecosystem or use the ROMs, but I’ll donate to keep the options healthy and encourage good work! I wish there were a couple more cryptocurrency options like ethereum and bitcoin cash.
