That's dangerous. Look at what Fox is doing, as an entertainment company, to US politics across the country.

I'm still using reddit sync, fully working with revanced. Even if it stops, I'd be hard pressed to delete it.

If they advertise, then the OS needs to be free. I'm not paying for an OS that profits off me too.

Pi-hole is super easy. Literally just install it, and set your dhcp on your router to push out that IP as your dns server. Configure pi-hole to use an upstream dns server.

There's a bunch of launchers out there. I did mine a while back and used Wolf launcher, but later found out it was a "hacked" version of some other paid launcher. I used launcher manager to "enable" it on boot. Right out of the box, it has all apps and no ads. I suspect any launcher you go with will be similar.

Except samsung ships with their own store on all galaxy devices, even if play is there too. So it doesn't fit with a stranglehold.

If google withdrew android to only Google hardware, does that suddenly make them not infringing anymore? Leaving all other phone devs to make their own OS...

But that doesn't speak towards the Apple side, which locks their app store and hardware as well.

Stock holders can sue the company if there's a loss, too. That shouldn't be a thing, but here we are.
