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’ve replaced default web browser with Firefox, and generally don’t use Google apps.
    It’s fucking annoying that every time I open a Youtube page in Firefox it asks me to use the Youtube App instead of Firefox where I have uBlock installed! I wish I could get it to stop that!

    Edit PS:
    Disabling the youtube app solves it.
    If that is not an options, go to phone settings, Apps, defaults, and scroll to youtube, and disable open links.
