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?

    No some OS preinstall microG. Because only if the core is finished you can hash and sign it, if the user flashes some apps afterwards that doesnt work.

    Btw ROM is read only memory, a tiny part of the firmware

      MicroG is open source tho and only talks to Google if you explicitely activate it
