The end of support is near for more than just Windows 10. But there's no need to panic.

    Or OnlyOffice. It lacks a lot of features but is an easier sell in a lot of cases because of the much more modern interface.

      onlyoffice was on my list, but the privacy rating was a dealbreaker for me.

        Wow, that’s super disappointing but not incredibly surprising. The developers don’t seem as transparent as other projects I’ve interacted with.

        I always install from their github, which I speculate (assume? hope?) does not include these trackers because they would be visible. Is there any way to reliably find out?

          app manager can scan the APK for trackers and other program libraries. it won’t work reliably though if the app has been obfuscated
