Best way to use an Android is to stay as far away as you can from Google products or at least minimize it.
Protonmail, Organic Maps/Magic Earth, Signal, Firefox, Spotify, Newpipe, AntennaPod and so on.
dudes a redditor. getting enraged is a default setting.

Google is not making Android for users, but itself as its advertising platform. Ever wonder why custom ROMs and even other manufacturers have a permission to block internet access for specific apps in their Android forks but Google does not? hmm… Alright
Google isn't looking out for anyone but itself. These kind of restrictions and excuses are exactly what Apple calls "security".
yea. of all the shit the company pulls, how is this even newsworthy.
must be a slow news day.

Just off the top of my head, Android allows multiple browser engines to work on it, allowing firefox to use extensions. Android can torrent, while you can't on stock iOS without hacks. Firefox with extensions on Android is god send if you're a power user.
For someone who claims to be a power user, it's really showing… And don't forget open source ecosystem is much much much bigger on Android.
Before that, it was hangouts and regular people didn’t know about it.
This is their biggest problem, They themselves fragment their user base. We were on hangouts, you could even get your google voice calls on it, we didnt' switch to allo or duo, till they announced they were retiring hangouts. And now all three are gone.
We stay away from Google now.
it's free until oracle decides to shut it down without warnings. Then everything goes poof
what's with that? without mentioning why they suck, that's just the ol' "trust me, bro"
