Use openaource apps from fdroid, or if you really have to then use Aurora store. For office use collabora office, for youtube newpipe, video vlc, etc. NEVER LOG IN TO GOOGLE/SAMSUNG ACCOUNT ON ANY APP except Aurora store. For any other recommendation/alternative just aak me.
~~these changes are going to decrease security overall. privacy and security are not one in the same~~. edit: I guess they edited the postπ«
also, logging in to aurora is almost guaranteeing your account getting banned. use a throw away account if the default ones are rate limited
Im using my main account on aurora store on 4 profiles for past month and everything is ok (for now).
welp. good luck
