If your on Android, and use the Google Play Store, then there's something to change.

The Google Play Store is the place to see  s thrown in your face. Also full of Proprietary software and trackers, I would skip it.

Instead use F-Droid.

If you want to uninstall Playstore but still need some apps/updates from there you can use Aurora Store (Shows tracker count from exodus; you can filter out apps with ads in the search; you can put deactivated apps on a ignore list so that they won't get updated when you press 'update all').

Also when using Aurora Store you don't need a google account. That makes it possible to run your phone without a google account.
