  Their mission is amazing but I’m not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn’t also ad-laden.

    They are de-googled. They have replacements for pretty much everything, including email. You can import your google contacts to the non-google phone. The only google stuff on my fairphone is what I put on it myself. I can still download and run every app on the app store if I choose.

      That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.
