degoogle

Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google’s “Messages” app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?...

WTF is this? Is this appropriate for anybody? I’m usually okay with a dumb ad here and there but this ridiculous.

I was thinking, there is some comparative of the different clients we have for F-Droid? Besides official, tried droidify, neo store and yesterday f droid classic (which I like it a lot). Any other recommendations?

When I was looking to replace my google tools, I couldn’t find an easy to to alternative Google Photos.

I’m starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there?

Hi, all!...

On my chromecast i have Google and Google Assistant disabled. I also have Projectivy launcher. I want to know how to degoogle it further, i am too scared to disable google play services because i don’t have aurora store here. I also replaced Gboard with a open source alternative. Any ideas?

What alternatives are there for Google Wallet/Google Pay? If they are OpenSource better.

I hope this is not considered a low-effort post, but I wanted to ask if using stock Android without signing in to your Google account/ using Play Store is worth it. It should be more private, right?

I’m full on de-googling. I have set up ProtonMail as my main, a selfhosted NextCloud to store my calendar, drive and photos, I’m even erasing all my maps reviews by hand.
