google through only the web, what a fucking joke. if you have a google account check your activity history. it will list the times you have opened an app.
if you don't have a google account but your phone has google services, don't be afraid that you can't check it, they're still harvesting it.
want to avoid it?
Step 0: don't by samsung. xiaomi neither, they plan to make you unable to execute the next step.
Step 1: unlock your phone. take ownership into your hands. but back up your photos, the 2FA Authenticator app's data and whatever else is important, because it will get deleted.
Step 2: install a privacy oriented custom ROM.
Step 3: profit
keep bank services contained in the firefox browser. if they don't allow access there, switch banks, you'll be better off with a smaller one anyways.
I’m a broken record: block Google (or whomever) with network-based blocking (IP and/or DNS), these guys have third-party tracking in virtually every website and app.
as an additional measure, sure. but these blocks are not hard to circumvent, so it's not enough in itself
They’re not hard to circumvent, sure but then why am I so effectively blocking almost everything not tied to the “real” first-party domains?
because they don't yet circumvent it. but also, are you completely sure everything is blocked? DoT, DoH traffic and such?
