I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

      Same. Those features are more important than anything I get by rooting.

      Honestly I don’t even need root for anything. Adblock runs through a fake VPN app. My Pixel used to have a green screen tint, but Google fixed that at the OS level, so I don’t need to have an app for that any more.

      I think people that take that approach to life are partly ruining it for us all. You’re selling your privacy for convinience and in the process legitimising the removal of (what I consider) more ethical and reasonable solutions.

        No, phone payments can be much more private than a card payment.

        Edit: who tf is downvoting this objectively true statement?

          Perhaps, but I advocate against using both card and phone payment. Cash is the only truly private pay method, barring facial scanning cameras at the counter. Each to their own.
