No. The app itself is private according to Exodus (0 trackers and only 7 permissions) but you will have no privacy on the any of these sites.

What are the optimizations? I seem to be getting a worse experience vs. using it in the device browser since there's no adblocking

if you could add Ublock origin it would be awesome

According to the Github page, there are no ads

This is a web wrapper for several proprietary social apps. It is effectively a browser locked into a pre-approved set of URLs. Just use a real browser.

Just use your browser of choice.
