Great writeup @siggy47 ! I just finished reading it all.
I am no longer supporting google in any way
Except the $600 for the phone 😅
A few points that others may have made:
  • Obtainium. Prioritize getting apps from there over F-Droid
  • Use the default browser, it's hardened and they specifically recommend it (unless you need Tor)
  • AntennaPod, much better than Podverse or Fountain
Good points. As someone else pointed out, my "no longer supporting google" statement also didn't take into account the fact that android is a google product, and google contributes to AOSP! Maybe I should just fire up my old gmail account!
