I feel like the problem mentioned is like a drop in the ocean compared to the enshitification of Google as a whole. Google has been almost unusable even if this didn’t happen.
Google’s control over the internet will harm all users as they scram further to find places where profit can be squeezed more and more until they’re functionally bankrupt.
not just internet, they are going to prevent android users from installing any programs they dont approve first. So most likely goodbye f-droid and any opensource program

Google, sadly, is truely dead.
I moved on to Duckduckgo, because the results really aren’t worse. Aren’t better either though.
I find them better. Most of the time. Google is needed every now and then.
DuckDuckGo gets to the point and skips the seo stuff… Mostly.
Although at this point search is nearly useless no matter what you use.
Kagi is also super good but it’s paid.

What’s funny is google’s bullshit will likely result in a Linux phone that doesn’t suck before we ever see mainstream Linux desktop adoption.
i hope it does
How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbian
Never used it myself, but I liked reading about all the creative malware it used to get.
