Google spy through android as well
And chromeos
Mmm, chromeos 🤤
I use lineageOS because of this
I'll be switching to Lineage soon...
Google forced my manufacturer (Fairphone) to effectively 'disable' the fingerprint scanner from android 13 onwards for the FP3. Our Lineage fork reverted that Google mandated change thankfully
Me too I use Lineage for microg and I haven't had any compatibility issues
or if your device has a maintainer willing: EvolutionX. im surprised how painless of an experience this custom rom is. and it's got no bullshit stuff in it either. fucking crazy. they even got ota support... it's like oem rom experience, only, there's no third party spyware installed(excluding GApps. but even google's telemetry can be highly restricted when we install AFWall+ and use NextDns+Adaway along with it). it's been years(close to a decade actually) since I've used an oem rom on my personal phone, it's just that good
Degoogled my Tab.
