To be honest, im more than Tired of this whole “Mimimi, Google is restricting installing Android apps, so its worse than iOS now Mimimi”

So heres 4 Options, how to Opt out of Gservices, and therefore not have this whole Debacle of Verified Apps, in varying degrees of Difficuilty from “3 Year old iPad kid can do this” (Aka install Via Browser) to “You have to Copy 3 Text snippets and Paste them”, to even “Order Online”.

And before everyone starts Crying, there are more than Enough Apps and Alternatives to the Propriatery stuff youve been using until now. No, you dont need a Burgerking App, no, you dont need an App for Kaufland. They are Selling your Data, and thats the only reason they Exist. If you consent with having your Data sold, you have no reason to opt out of Gapps anyway.

  1. Install Via Web Browser.
  1. Install Manually (aka. Paste 3 or so Lines into cmd)
  1. Adb and Magisk MicroG Module (Please use uBlocks Badware Filter list, as there are many fake Sites)
  1. Buy a Degoogled Phone

    I would have agreed with you before Google announced they will no longer actually open source their reference version of the OS to squeeze Graphene et al. This is clearly an effort to lock down Android under unilateral Google control taken together, and on an indefinite timeline, they will win.

      You are wrong. They are still open sourcing a reference Version. That Version is just not their pixel model, but instead a dummy implementation.
