    Best way to use an Android is to stay as far away as you can from Google products or at least minimize it.

    Protonmail, Organic Maps/Magic Earth, Signal, Firefox, Spotify, Newpipe, AntennaPod and so on.

      Stellar advice, and that’s a fantastic set of apps you’ve suggested.

      I’m so impressed with how much third party mapping has improved. Especially Magic Earth - it locates me faster then Google maps, while not having a data connection out in the boonies. Like in 2 seconds.

      Even in the city GMaps never locates me anywhere near that fast.

      Navigation in Magic is also fsr, far faster. Again, 2 to 3 seconds to map a route.
