Same but I think it will soon not be enough. I still cant believe it’s now so difficult to not be a google product, this is a digital nightmare built by decades of unregulated capitalism. Kiss my ass GAFAM.
Different threat models have different necessities. I believe a regular user should avoid Google ( or rather all of GAFAMBATX) connections at all costs. I think everybody (me included, of course) is better off with a dumbphone than a Degoogled phone.
It’s obvious we have different opinions, I respect your right to run any system as you want. I don’t think I have any more to contribute to this topic.
Its a common misconception that banking apps don’t work on grapheneOS.
In some cases there is a feature call “expliot protection compatibility mode” that you have to enable, but the OS does it automatically for most banking apps.
Glad I use GrapheneOS and don’t use any Google apps or services anymore it’s amazing how I no longer get spam calls and texts since the switch.
I de-google everything I can.

That’s one approach but far more limited than just using a Google-free Android build like Lineage.
I know, that’s why I advocate for going Google free from the outset.
Well, it may be ideal, but that is not the same as absolutely necessary.

I wish I had a Pixel.
Don’t you have issues with banking apps then? It’s the one thing holding me back from switching, but I haven’t really done a deep dive in it.
No my bank app doesn’t even use Google Play in anyway depends on the bank.
