Dammit don't make me switch to apple phones, I hate apple. I hate Google too but FFS all you need to do is stay out of my way and the one thing you continuously do is stand in my way...
GTFO of my way! Piss off with that AI crap that nobody asked for
An ungoogled android variant has to be a lot lesser of an evil, no?
Problem is that if you have a critical application (like banking) that relies on Google services you're SOL.
It's Apple or Google at that point.
Just use the websites instead of the apps.

GrapheneOS can sandbox apps to use the Google services only with permitted apps.
Note I don't actually have a GrapheneOS capable phone at the moment, but I've been getting familiar with it in hopes of switching soon, so I'm just relaying what I've read.
You guys are really making me consider GrapheneOS.
Its what made me buy a pixel phone.
