        Those projects that aim to completely degoogle the system and opt for better adoption like /e/, DivestOS and CalyxOS are still a WIP in terms of removing all the Google related calls in the system wide level. Some even argue that altering some of those changes actually make it easier to fingerprint your phone as that allows you to stand out from the crowd. But one thing is for sure: with each new version of it Google sinks its teeth deeper into Android and you need a lot of volunteers to revert these changes.

                  I think I'm the only satisfied user in every technology. Every move they make isn't as stressful as some people say. And my gadgets aren't that powerful and expensive. I just get used to everything. Every device and every operating system. My favorite combo is Android phone and Windows laptop.

Imagine if on very Android phone it is clearly mentioned on the box that they will steal all your Data, a lot of people might not buy these phones.

                                I'm switching away from Google for web browsing and communication. Signal and Telegram are, so far, ad free. Duckduck is an excellent browser options.
                                Next to go is the increasingly ad heavy YouTube that's been ruined for important tasks such as acquiring knowledge.

                                    10 -15 years of bad privacy practice. Always some insincerity and creepiness shown by Big Tech. These "monopolies" turned the internet into a data gathering tool without any respect for the engineers and pioneers of early days. An amazing event for me to watch for the past decade or two. An information exchanging invention was turned into an information gathering tool.

                                      Smoke and mirrors.

                                        This is ridiculous. 'Anti tracking'. Oh it's super dupy easy. Just erase the code that actually tracks the user. Just in case the development teams requires some pointer on how to do it.

                                        Wait! They are not erasing anything? They just want to make it harder for anyone else to track the user so their database comes on top....

                                        Now I understand. When google tracks you it is 'improving user experience' or something like that, when anybody else does the same it's old good tracking. Isn't it.

                                        Oh wow, these marketing guys are geniuses
