Comment on Google promises a rescue patch for Android 14’s “ransomware” bug

  The big one is Apple’s new Advanced Data Protection. It’s very new, and it isn’t on by default, but that was a killer feature that brought me to Apple I don’t necessarily trust Apple any more than I’d trust Google, but the ability to E2E encrypt my cloud-backed data out of the box is something Google will likely never do.

  But I bet most users will never even know that exists.

    Google is really the only reason I won’t consider Android for anything. Time and time again they’ve proven themselves to be untrustworthy. Sure, Apple may collect your data, but their entire existence isn’t about selling that data to advertisers. I wish there were more options.

      Have you heard of graphene OS? Because this decouples Google and you still have an android phone.

        So… buy a google product and install other software on it? That’s still supporting google. I can understand why someone would not want to do that.

        That’s still supporting Google and letting them dictate where technology goes. The same with using chrome, or anything chromium.

        The last time I tried to use a degoogled phone it was basically impossible. Authy isnt on any other store, updating apps was a pita, notifications didn’t work half the time because too many damn apps rely on Google’s push notification system…

    So your main reason is icon position. Not… like anything else. Alright then. Well you’ll be glad to know that’s possible on iOS now. Just… drag it around like… an icon.
