    I got into using Android from the beginning to break free of Microsoft

    Wow. That’s like saying you got into cholera because the plague is worse.

      Android was released in 2008; And Google wasn’t the behemoth it is today. Microsoft had already shadow-funded multiple companies to try and destroy Linux, as well as many other horrid practices; like inventing ActiveX

      Android is Linux under the hood, and open source at that; so I run an Android distribution stripped of Google’s influence. Notice I said that I got into Android and not Google.
