I'm working on cleaning out and resetting my phone. Can I simply use the Samsung browser (and Aurora Store) to avoid logging in to Google at all? (I don't need email on my phone)
Just wondering if there's some unforeseen problem or risk with doing that.
I'm using my "backup" phone (same model, from eBay) to save some of my data and settings before I factory reset my phone to clear out the 15G of "other." I'd like to try avoiding Google products.
Trying Samsung browser on the backup phone, and next to no pages will load. Just white page. Tried mstdn.social. Some news pages will load. Pieces of some pages will load, like the Reddit banner for example.
Obviously it can't be "clear your cache" as it's a new device. Enabled java & cookies.
I am posting fron the "backup" phone, not signed in to Google, but now using Chrome as Samsung wouldn't show any websites.
I wanted to avoid Google products entirely including Chrome but maybe "not signed in" is at least a little better?🤷🏻♀️
Take a look at vivaldi. They are still using the common android platform, but so far seem very good on security.
