People running stock or OEM-Android: what do you think about privacy and your personal data in the hands of Google? For Apple, you just kinda have to trust them on not selling/using/… your private data (not discussing how much that trust is worth…). For Google, it is just clear that they are - it’s their business model after all.
Sure - Graphene, Calyx, Lineage etc. exist, but either are limited to specific models, have drawbacks in functionality or are more hassle to setup than most average users are willing to invest.
So, if you are aware of this but still opt to running default Google Android: do you just „ignore“ this? Do you try do „degoogle“ as much as possible? I’m curious to see different opinions on this.
I try to debloat, and degoogle for the most part. I know it’s a losing battle, but it feels like the least I should do.
I use universal android debloater to purge a bunch of garbage. I use adguard and mulvlad. I look for open source alternatives where I can. I pay very close attention to settings and permissions.
I feel like there’s a lot you can do, but if you’re still using apps by Google and meta youre still giving away your privacy.
