Without going to far into this, as im not trying to hijack your thread, but i must respond if you question. My point of my comment was to teach, that sometimes in life, less is more. That by default things are secure, until you overload them with unnecessary making them insecure. The more you add software, the more vulnerabilities you introduce. ect,ect. In a forum full of security enthusiast, my comments will not be met with enthusiasm, but it does not mean they are irrelative.
When i bought pixel i was thinkin im going all in with google services but im kind of been always a firefox user, even google chrome in benchmarks is doing much better on android, but you got me thinking maybe i give a try with google VPN, even the f-secure is giving me identical speeds as my ISP does
In Finland the Internet security providers are all selling f-secure as bundle offer, like everyone i know is using f-secure here
on desktop i was very long using cruels cf + antivirus combo and different hardening tools, but nowadays i only run f-secure so im less paranoid than before, i get what less is more is
and after all youre not hijacking my thread youre just telling me that less is more and i should use google services instead of using 3rd party tools , wich is okayish
I'm a bit curious. What do you personal think and feel is pros and cons if you compared the 3 phones you owned so far
Actually nokia lumia 830 was best phone i had used ever, but after it was discontinued update wise i swapped to oneplus 5t wich i was using for like 4 years i think, if it never broke i would use it still this day. After 5t broke up i was using my moms old sony xperia wich was ok being 2018 released phone, working well this day even it was 200 usd phone back then....
And now im pixel user, im far from google user, i dont have chromebook or pixel watch, i even use microsoft launcher because i dont like pixel launcher at all
Pixel just is clean android, efficient cpu and good camera, otherwise its same phone as non pixel phones are. it just reminds me of good times of oneplus where you could get flagship phone for mid price, pixel feels like flagship phone but it only costs like 300 usd, so im feeling im living the oneplus 5t time once again
