Happy to hear that it changed for the better. I’m still on Android 10, where it sadly isn’t the default. But thanks for letting me know :)

I’d prefer that notifications are blocked by default (should be opt-in instead of opt-out). The only apps I NEED notifications for, are messaging apps, everything else is just annoying.

I don’t want bloatware and Google services on my phone. I want to install magisk modules and use root. If a phone doesn’t allow unlocking bootloader and doesn’t have decent custom rom (or GSI) support, there’s no way I’m buying it.

That’s what I’m using:

I would advise to use open-source software wherever you can. You (almost) never have paywalls, ads or trackers there ;)

You can use an OTP Generator like Aegis Authenticator from F-Droid. Afaik it even works offline, so there should be no risk if you strictly keep it offline.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a source for the mentioned research?
