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.
Google is a very powerful company that knows where you are, what apps you install, what you watch on YouTube, etc. Those who use Pixel install GrapheneOS or CorperheadOS to leave Google and be more secure. However, this is only available for Pixel devices, and if you install apps that do not respect your privacy, such as Facebook, that security is lost.
