No it's not. The author smuggles opt-out telemetry and is suspiciously abrasive towards users pointing this out.

No, he’s not. Calling this telemetry is a stretch and that’s his style on everything he disagrees with (unfortunately).

It would be a stretch if it was opt-out, but as it is, every installation of Kitty phones home by default. That is the exact equivalent of telemetry.

His "style" compounds on that by making him seem untrustworthy.
