What do you think of the Nora Android app and desktop browser optimized for social networking services? Does anyone use it? Is it safe and private?

Just installed, nothing but network permissions enabled and Facebook at least works great. Better than slimsocial. There are no trackers so what stays in the webwrapper stays in the webwrapper. So I feel fine using it with a anon account and 0 friends. Ad blocking works just about as well as any other solution, occasional ads in feed. But then I also filter ads at DNS level. Also regarding using a middleware its just a wrapper, it works like a browser and stays there so seems better than using the regular browser, keeps things separate.
