        Petal search coming with 2 search mode, by default "standard mode", which hide your identity by using random ID for privacy protection.
        While another mode "smart mode" then provides personalized result, if you intentionally choose that mode.

                That's great, I'm looking at the Mate X2 for my next phone. I should find most apps I need in the Appgallery and whatever else I should be able to find in Petal Search.

                  Google is useless, keep it up huawei. We'll support you by buying your phones but price it at as we can afford to buy it.

                        Because after the search, I won't need to worry about seeing promotions on my chrome browser or in gmail or somewhere else.

                        It's pretty handy for some random search of info.

                          If A accuse B for crossing red light, B flip the accusation with "C did that also" or "A you stole a chocolate yesterday", this is whataboutism.

                          But, if A crossed the red light, and then accuse B 5 seconds later for that, when B said "What about you?"
                          Then here it's not an whataboutism, but pure hypocritical double standard from A.

                          So which case you mean?

                            It is not worth anything, it only serves to download apk files.

                            If the app needs Google Services and some Google libraries & components to work well, it is useless.
