    I already ditched Windows for Linux a month ago because of spyware. Everything Google-related is next. My phone is going to be the hardest thing to de-infest.

      In my experience you either have to trade one devil for the other with Apple or accept buying hardware from the ad company so you can use GrapheneOS.

        There are more options than GrapheneOS with broader device support, such as Calyx or LineageOS.

        But if you use Android already, you can start by using F-Droid (or others) to install apps to find FOSS replacements for apps you use.

      I’m also doing this. Proton is amazing, for the most part. Ente Photos is also incredible for ditching Google Photos, although I’ll probably switch to Proton Photos when that comes out since Ente is pricey.
