They'll succeed if they keep it up. My Pixel is the buggiest phone I've ever had anyway. I hate a lot of the weird little iPhone restrictions but at this point Android is getting irritating. It should be best on the Pixel but it's not. All this BS trying to kill the open Internet is just a good reason to cut Google out, especially browser wise and device/OS.

Hey! Try using GrapheneOS! It's a degoogled version of Android! If I'm not mistaken it uses MicroG (google services, but private and open source) instead of google services! It's specifically made for Pixels! https://grapheneos.org/ (I never used it personally, as I do not own a pixel, but I've only heard good things about it.
