I hope you are not referring to the company that is pushing AI ads through their system settings, pushing Creator Studio subscription ads through the formerly non-shareware productivity tools, and pushing movie ads through their wallet?
Seriously, get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS, or maybe a Fairphone with LineageOS.
"Seriously, get a Pixel and install..."
Ah, the Google tax. They can turn the lock of that door (bootloader) when they choose to do so.
But they haven't yet, and if you refuse to give Google money directly there's always the secondhand market.
You'd still be walking around as a free advertiser for their stuff, simply by owning Google-branded hardware. And of course the hypocrisy of having a Google phone to avoid Google spying is palpable.
