Seriously ready to fully drop google emails and services, i'm using vivaldi + personal email for a while now, the migration was slow a bit painful but complete. Only the phone is still attached to play store and google, but i'm 100% ready to switch to the fully supported Chinese variant of ColorOS and flush Google into the toilet once and for all. But my next phone will 100% be a Sailfish again.

Even if you drop Google you'll still have a bunch of websites that now also will require age verification.

I run on proton for decade and it's not exactly gmail high tech solution, but it's secure.

I have mozilla, brave, waterfox, mullvad and a few others.

It's amazing to see how google and others big companies are marking you as bot.

For me to fully drop google someone needs to create something compatible with Android Auto in my car, it doesn't sound like a big deal but that's a big enough thing for me to need it now.

Standalone Garmin for nav and Bluetooth for music is all anyone should need.

Buy a separate tablet and a roll of duct tape. If you're careful, you can completely cover whatever obsolete nonsense is built into the car.

Is there an open-source alternative to Android Auto? It cannot be a regular tablet app, its UI has to be adapted to car driving (bigger buttons and simplified UI, at a minimum) and it should make use of the car ECU data.
