I might have misunderstood this but is Android really trying to push this as tracking as a privacy upgrade, simply because it let’s us choose which of our interests we want advertisers to have access to?

    I am waiting for the same thing. The amount of shit you have to disable, block, or unistall on android is getting ridiculous. It’s getting really old.

    Most of the new “features” that either apple or google add anymore are absolute trash. I am constantly having to go through the settings and disable shit.

    The stock android is so full of non-romovable crap that a launcher is required anymore.

    It’s the same for windows, win11 is only usable with a launcher like startallback.

      Dont wait, just get a Pixel 6a-8 and install GrapheneOS.

      (8 is expensive but will last 7+ years with extended GrapheneOS updates)

        What do you use in place of GApps? F-droid?

        Also, what’s the flashing process like these days? Does it still wipe everything or is there a way to save all the personal stuff?
