    I’ve switched to Kagi for search, and Fastmail for email. Though a bit more difficult to escape Google when you’ve got a pixel 8 pro ;)

        Whaaaat, it’s supported now? It wasn’t for a bit. (Or maybe I’m thinking of Lineage) Man, I may have to make the jump soon, or at least just test it out. It’s been a while since I’ve played with a custom ROM though, since the pixels are a great vanilla experience.

      Rather easier I’d say, as it has an unlockable bootloader, unlike most other phones. I have a pixel 7 on Graphene, but there’s a bunch of other versions you can try.

        Only the google edition, not carrier versions.

      If you have a pixel phone, there are completely de-Googled android operating systems available for them with full hardware support.

      Actually, it’s easiest to escape google with a Pixel, even more than an iPhone with GrapheneOS (only if not a carrier phone though).
