@BenjaminHCCarr If they tighten things enough, I'll slip out of their hands completely and just install a Google-free AOSP image.

I do most stuff on my phone in the browser already (including posting this reply), so as long as there's even one FOSS browser, I'll be ok, with a few supplemental apps from F-Droid.
