    Google is not an IT company. It’s an advertising company. Surprised Pikachu, it blocks ad blockers.

        Yeah it’s always been an ad company. And you are correct, blocking apps is new, welcome to the last stage in the ad-blocking arms race. Glad I degoogled my digital life a decade ago.

          Hey, can you tell a little bit about your stack, what apps and services do you use? Also on phone? I guess in a decade you could work that out pretty well.

            Your options for phones come down to linux phones (which I haven’t heard great things about) and pixels ironically.

            Apple phones make a similar number of calls to google services as android phones simply because of how much google runs.
