#2I question the logic of excluding Chromium users from reading one's writing about de-googling. Sorry, I'm not switching browsers to receive this particular brilliance.

Perhaps author feels you're too Googled to be saved?

That's how the rest of us Non-Chromium users feel about other websites.

#6The microg_installer_revived module isn't necessary anymore if you're using a build from within the last month. The Lineage folks finally implemented signature spoofing for microg, simply downloading it from the official website or f-droid repo works now.

#7How about Play Integrity and Key attestation results? What are the results of test apps (e.g. SPIC - com.henrikherzig.playintegritychecker and io.github.vvb2060.keyattestation) in your setup? I feel like more and more big apps rely on these security features.

#8Shame the author immediately threw out grapheneos "because they purley focus on privacy", the user experience is much better than lineage these days.

#9I opted for postmarketOS, which doesn't support microG, on an old device. Going Degoogled was my only option for anything remotely maintained, which was a priority.
It's nice to see my old device get some patches, but I'm not sure how much I'll use it since ARMv7 is mostly being phased out.
Overall, using postmarketOS and trying to go completely without Google apps (and without microG) has been interesting. Not sure I could recommend it, but it did force me to discover some very useful (and quite nice) OSS apps.

Oh that is great news! It's always been a pain for exactly that reason.
