    Got a pixel? Check out calyxos, it’s a free system upgrade that rips out anything google but allows almost everything to work, even the play store and all your usual games and bank apps.

    Calyxos.org

    E: nevermind. It was great while it lasted.

      If you have a Pixel, then GrapheneOS is the sensible choice. Not least because it currently only works with Pixels anyway.

        I bought a Pixel 9 with the sole intention of putting Graphene on it. I wasn’t massively down with giving Google money, but my provider offered it to me for £30, then £30 a month on contract. Can’t argue with that.

      I really hope one day these alternatives will run on non-Google devices. I really don’t want to give them money.
