What if I install Lineage to it? That’s what I intend to do when my Pixel 8 gets here.

Give Grapheneos a try!

I like the fact it de-google’s the device and strips the preinstalled BS; but It says it doesn’t even come with the Play Store. How would I get my normal apps?

Fair warning, you do lose access to some offline AI features like improved voice dictation and song recognition as well as Google Pay. I’m okay with the tradeoff personally but it is still a downside.

Seconding the GrapheneOS recommendation. This is the privacy respecting route to take.

It lets you remove the pre installed crap and was faster and used less power to save on battery life when I used it before.

Have to strongly disagree. Will probably collect the same as any other Android phone but without having manufacturer (Samsung, Huawei or whatever) malware pre-installed and unremovable.

You would say that, although no idea how it should be worse than Huawei or Samsung.

Look at these lists, Samsung had the worst bloat of all.

I would highly appreciate some updated lists :D although custom Android OSses are the only way to degoogle/detrack
