Ha! That’s one of the reasons I switched to a degoogled android phone. The extra battery life is quite noticeable.
If you use chrome or any chromium based browser, googles still executing any code they won’t on your device at will.
Even if you don’t have chrome, but an app uses a chromium based web view.

Source?
Degoogled as in “no code from google present” would require Ubuntu touch etc., but as in “no closed source stuff and no telemetry” is quite easy, using either Degoogled Android or another specific distro.

I know what I said :3
Makes me consider doing that again.
Years ago I had a Samsung Galaxy Alpha and ran LineageOS on it but that just completely fucked the battery optimisation. Did this get better? Better than Google even?
My last phone with standard Google Android had a 5000 mAh battery while the new degoogled has one with a bit more than 6000 mAh I think. Even then I feel the overall increase in battery life cannot be explained with hardware only. Without watching videos or playing games, I only have to charge my new phone every 3-4 days. And I’ve background apps like syncthing running all the time. I’ve just checked there’s actually a few other open source forks of android other than LineageOS. If you’re disappointed with it.
