This is about Revanced, isn't it? They failed to kill it via the YouTube backend so now it's down to lock down the os and browsers as much as possible to keep feeding people the juicy ads.
This is bigger than "just" Revanced though. It is about using any open source software that could replace a Google app and losen Google's grip on your data.
It's time to start self hosting your own services people!
Yeah, but that doesn't help if you can't make apps that support the hosted services. Google is trying to have complete ownership of what runs on your phone.
Gotta buy a different phone then
