Disabling "Google" app seems to break A LOT of data mining. So make sure you disable that crap. Also disable Chrome and uninstall/disable Gemini. Also use DNS level filtering like NextDNS or AdguardDNS. The amount of crap these filter while not affecting my usage of smartphone is wild. And I'm using Hagezi Ultimate which is the most aggressive block list.
There is no way to get gemini out I tried they buried it on purpose, how to sites have broken instructions.
"Google" - Disabled
Chrome - Disabled
Gemini - Never installed that parasite in the first place
Thanks bro
There's about a dozen more you can safely disable with ADB.
