boomboompshAlso did a Google purge. No more Gmail app, no more YouTube app, no more duo, not that I used it, no more Google maps, no more chrome, no more Google play.

Gonna migrate off Gmail services, but the account is still my primary for now. All of this installed through #F-droid. #FOSS #Google #liberatorytechnology
