Fuck Google

Give them money

Is there another option?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Other options are Fairphone, Volla, Murena - or flashing "vanilla" custom ROM's on phones other than Pixels - or using Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile, Mobian, Droidian or Sailfish OS.

Its kinda ironic that google pixel is the only phone with decent secirity hardware and an unlockablw bootloader.

Buy a second-hand Google Pixel.

They would make a lot more money on that purchase if it’s vanilla android though. Yes, you’re spending money on the hardware, but is Google really known for making bank on just hardware sales?

  2. Flash SailfishOS there
  3. ???
