Edit: I should have read the article more closely. The binary blob is optional and off by default, so IMO, the whole debate against MicroG is aughable, unless you have a compatibility problem, which is definitely possible, though it probable. Sandboxed GSF has its pros and cons, too.
@RL_Dane@Winterstar@ianthetechie@joshthetechie microG is less convenient but better for privacy than sandboxed solution. let's say if you don't log in to your google account on your device, it can't track whose notifications are coming to their servers as the device address changes randomly every x hours, can't remember.
