Using anything that pushes google’s technology is supporting Google. Chromium is pushing Google’s vision on the web. Android of any distribution is pushing Google’s vision on mobile.

There needs to be an alternative to the two major players that don’t help them.

Have you heard of e os? https://e.foundation/e-os/

De googling your android is at least a possibility, ripping apple out of ios is not possible

Again, using tech that came from Google, even if you removed the telemetry and the Google apps is still supporting Google.

We need more 100% independent projects.

KaiOS (which has a fairly specific reason to exist that doesn't apply to most iOS or Android users) notwithstanding I don't see a third competitor gaining any serious traction (traction = apps actually existing = phone actually being usable) this late into the game.

I wish a web tech based phone would take off. There’s not much that can’t be a pwa.
