Those sites aren't really useful. If your threat model requires "hiding your fingerprint" you can use Tor Browser.

Why ? Just why ?

aa1 OP ,

Yeah, it's a shame. Only Google seems to take updates seriously.

aa1 OP ,

I completely agree with you. I think people downvoting me because "fuck Google" when in fact, hardware wise, is the best available to achieve privacy and security.

Chat control vote postponed: Huge success in defense of digital privacy of correspondence! ( www.patrick-breyer.de )

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice. Once again the chat...

Disabling updates is not a good choice. If you use Windows, update Windows. Having an insecure and not up to date version of windows makes you more vulnerable

Yes you can! Your offline backup is inside the app data (you need a file manager to access the folder). If you use a Samsung Device, i think you won't be able to see it unless you plug the phone on your PC.

Hi! One thing you could consider is using GrapheneOS which supports Android Auto without special priviliges!

aa1 OP ,

Hi! While your idea is understandable, i think we have to think about one thing: what about other vendors ? It's not like Samsung, Xiaomi, Fairphone etc. run on open source hardware. If you use any smarthpone, you have to accept you'll use closed source hardware. That being said, if we speak about hardware quality Google Pixels are the best ones, that's because you can install an alternative operating system without compromise the device's security. It does not make sense to go "fuck Google" and then buy another smartphone which came from a company that does the extact same thing - spy on you - but without the possibilty to install an alternative OS.

As a second thought, i think the theory "Google puts backdoors on Pixels to spy on users" has a big fallacy: Google already do that, but with a clear and legal privacy policy (photos, documents, backups, contacts, messages, emails, search history, location history and so on -- they can literally see everything about you). So, why they should do something illegal ? And for what purpose ? People put all their life on a service which does not encrypt anything, and if police needs data they can ask google and Google will give data to them. No backdoor needed.

Now, i'm not defending Google, of course. I'm just saying, hardware wise (and if you think about using an alternative privacy oriented OS) Google Pixels are the best choice.

A lot more has to put regarding this topic, but i don't have time to give you more information, i'm sorry :(
