For anyone who thinks they're "stuck" with chrome, Firefox has gotten it's shit together massively in the last few years.

Which is why Google's next step is to effectively require chromium browsers for any websites wanting access to Google services and products.

Sounds like a good reason to stop using Google services and products. Some examples (note, I haven't used some of these yet):

Search - DuckDuckGo

Email - ProtonMail

Drive - Dropbox

Sheets/Docs - Zoho

Some of these examples may not the best for everyone, but my point is that we do not have to let Google continue to push us around.

Can you suggest a replacement for Android?

[-] rifugee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

These are built from the open source version of Android and do not have Google stuff:

These are based on various flavors of Linux (Android is technically a flavor of Linux too):

PureOS (Librem 5 line by Purism)
Ubuntu Touch (support for lots of devices, but typically not the flagships)
Manjaro OS (on PinePhone by PINE64, an open source hardware community, which is the best way I can describe it)

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
