Im stuck with an s23 for a while yet. Is it even worth the trouble of trying to use f droid, shutting off google play services and disabling all the other shit on my phone, when at its core its all spyware?

I really wish an alternative existed that wasn't just a prototype or $1000.

Thank you for your answer ! Wasn't aware of this !

However, this isn't an issue if all your DNS goes through a pihole with DoH/DoT ?

i think so

in that case, if I'm not wrong, you won't be needing private dns from android
