The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.

I had to update to description since people kept thinking that I made the video.

    How:

    1. Get a pixel (or soon a Motorola)
    2. Install GrapheneOS
    3. Everything just works
    4. Profit

        Google wallet is not something a “deGoogled” phone needs to worry about

        I don’t use PayPal much, but is there anything about it you can’t just do in a web browser?

        Haven’t tried Google wallet, but why should PayPal not work? I’m paying in my browser anyway

        Haven’t used PayPal much in the last…phew…2? years, but as I’m ordering in a browser and then get to PayPal or usually just done credit card screen, I didn’t had any problems - besides PayPal changing rules like underwear and I’m a bit fed up with it

            Never used the PayPal app
            And never needed it for any payment

            Can’t you do this all just by browser?

            Wells Fargo let’s you log in. I use it on a daily basis on my Pixel 8 Pro with GOS.

        Google Wallet is a huge part against switching for me, what are my options? I have issues getting Curve registration accepted due to unknown issues and have so far had no luck with their support…

        Do other wallets work? The convenience of being able to pay when I’ve lost my wallet again again is what got me to do it in the first place.

          NewPipe & Co works on my current GrapheneOS

          Edit: not sure if that now is an anti feature for you ;⁠-⁠)
