      I'm considering using this as my main browser but WhatsApp concerns me. There are several privacy concerns and data collection problems with WA and seeing the integration into OGX makes me wonder what it collects. Will I give WA access to my browser data even if I don't log in? Is there a way to completely remove it from OGX?

      Any help is appreciated!

        @noxious-t Go to the sidebar settings and uncheck it. Using any of the messengers there is the same as opened them in a regular tab.

            @noxious-t No more than it is installed in any other browser. If you never visit the site, nothing is sent to them.
