Otter Browser makes no unsolicited requests at all. It is fully open source. The developers, also, don't plan to include any spyware "features" in the future. This seems like a true privacy-based web browser (at least for now).

Qutebrowser makes no unsolicited requests at all. It is also fully open source. This web browser is a great choice to use, and there is nothing to complain about from a privacy standpoint. (although I don't really know how to use the User Interface that well...) So far this browser looks like it can stand tall in the ranks of the other privacy-respecting web browsers out there.

Telegram does not follow its GPLv2 Obligations

Telegram clients are advertised as free software, but in practice the source code is not immediately accessible.[2], the delay sometimes being up to 5 months. So, unknown spyware features could be in the official Telegram client binaries that you download, without you knowing. It's recommended that you build an outdated version of telegram from its source code, since it's not provable whether or not the binaries that are distributed have unknown spyware or not.

Online Spyware Watchdog

The goal of this website is to classify spyware programs, so that users can be more aware that they are installing spyware.

Many "everyday" applications are actually spyware. We take an expansive and strict stance on what constitutes spyware. We define spyware as anything that includes "telemetry, information collection, phoning home, automatic updates, or is listening in".

-

This website contains articles on popular programs and internet services explaining spyware features, so that potential users can be aware of the information they may be giving away by downloading or using spyware, using easy to understand ratings, detailed explanations, and proof, of how features of these programs can spy on the user.
