I didn’t forget to mention avoiding Google Play Services.

But yeah it’s harder to find ROMs without gapps these days, but still possible. MicroG in particular is like stacking a house of cards most of the time. It’s always a trade off on what’s available… makes you want to learn how to cook.

Custom Android ROMs still have some viability, but it’s been getting harder to find ones without gapps these days.

Well there’s your problem. On Android phones you can disable the Google Photos app (or remove it all together, or never have it to begin with) and replace it with a Free and Open Source Software version that doesn’t do any of that crap.

You can also install Firefox (or a secure fork eg IronFox) with ublock origin and block ads.

Surely this will get better with their removal of old reddit.

At this point it’s pretty blatant that OpenAI are engaging in price fixing more than they are actually delivering AI datacentres.

Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.

And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.
