Fuck them. i have already opted-out for your tracking shit, why are you keeping nagging me each week (ruffly) ?

Fuck them also to disable “incognito mode” on mobile after idle. Real bastards.

Yes, I try to avoid their products but 10y+ habits is hard to beat.

      Protip: You can effectively get rid of Google Services on whatever is your current phone, without even needing root, let alone installing a custom ROM.
      Check out this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

      Keep in mind though: if your phone uses Google apps for Dialer, Messages, and Calendar (and you need those features because most likely you want your phone to be a phone, not a mini-tablet), you will also need to uninstall those app and install full replacements.
      I’m personally going with: QKSMS for messages, and Lineage OS dialer and calendar (APKs extracted from a Lineage OS ROM for a random phone and the same Android version as my phone)
