I’ve disabled Google’s Play Protect after it deleted multiple apps I rarely use and all their settings and having to spend hours configuring them again. I know I can manually change individual app settings to prevent that from happening, but given all the years Google’s been distributing malware why trust them? The fact Google regularly distributes malware and then wants permission to scan my phone for malware is laughable.
I avoid apps from the Google store because they can be downright dangerous, but I have few worries about that “dangerous” third party F-droid store.
