“max users planing on switching to piracy” is a better headline.

it works for me getting to the home page, anyway. I’m using UbO and bypass paywalls clean plugin on Firefox.

edit - are you using a VPN by chance? some sites flag them.

somewhere in the privacy settings DoH can be turned off.

so glad to finally see some punishment against google. it won’t be much, but oh well.

I use UBo. I’ll have to set that.

what’s it called?

well, I totally could live without it. Its just nice to have in case I don’t have my card/cash as a last resort kind of thing. all I do is add the magisk patch, and add shamiko, keep it somewhat updated, and it’ll work 99% of the time I use it. As for google, they probably do this to reduce liability on their end if something does happen. I haven’t heard of any issues from anyone so far.

I’m still using LOS and still fight with google over Play integrity from time to time. there’s a fairly new patch that spoofs the fingerprint of the phone and fixes the issue entirely for me (play integrity fix by chiteroman) as long as it’s updated, my gPay still works. I prefer using custom OS because it’s much more customizable and has little to no bloatware. any unwanted apps can be removed. I can route my VPN to my WiFi hotspot, in order to get full speed tethering. (I’m a T-Mobile user and they throttle) I have a system-wide ad-blocker that uses the hosts file. I have the ability to allow root to only some apps, and deny it to others.

To me, its worth doing. I have no internet at my house, so I primarily use this to get online. The stock T-Mobile firmware is laggy and loaded up with their apps you can’t delete. You’ll get the “3g speeds” hotspot and their annoying branding on everything.

Going back to that would really suck!

I’m sick too. hoping to be over it by tomorrow.

I’ve kept mine disconnected from the internet. I worry eventually that they will force it to be online to be used.

bots training bots. maybe this will (hopefully) corrupt the AI’s data. its kind of like copying off a copy again and again.

or human

Check out the “VPN hotspot” app from the play store. You’ll need root, unfortunately.

I’m kind of hoping the AI permanently beats them. I hate them too.

I hate google too, but for vastly different reasons.

I wonder if it can be hacked to spin fast in nonstop circles the entire day?

Just tried that app, it looks great and I’ll start using it now.

Cool, let’s try to ruin it faster!

Soooo… Why are you here then?

I wonder if the latest “play integrity fix” module could solve that problem. Its already allowing me to use bank apps on my rooted phone, so I assume it would let me sideload too if the integrity was “fixed”. Google is making more problems with paid solutions.
