Childish attitude. It definitely makes a difference walking arround with a Google logo. If it’s okay for you: fine, says alot.

One should avoid giving money and presenting Google (and others) wherever and whenever possible.

It is not. It is better than bloated Google Android but not “great”.

• They use tracking ids for updates
• They are far behind with updates lowering security and thus risking privacy
• They use testing keys which is ridicolous
• They added OpenAI integration and called it “Murena Voice to Text” so that unfiliar users could unintentially leak sensitive data
• They ignore valid critique and call it ‘personal harassment’ although nothing personal nor something like harassment happen there (for example in related /e/OS threads)

That is exactly such a mentioned third party alternative

Never use Chromium based browsers as it is coming from Google and gives it more power. The only alternative is Gecko / Firefox based: Fennec for Android and Librewolf for desktop.

Break free from Google with buying Google product? Lol
