My First De-googling - Next Steps (feddit.org)

I have de-googled my Pixel Pro 7 (refurbished) with GraphenOS. 🥳

One question before I declare this my first victory in the police-state-data wars. Is there anything else I should disable on the hardware side to make sure Google can't spy anymore? Microphone, drivers, etc. ?

If so, what's the best way?

Congratulations! :D

Not de-Google advice perse, but I recommend using a hardware key for two factor authentication: https://www.yubico.com/

One time passwords that are received through SMS and email are interceptable. Not so much with hardware keys. Yubico also makes an authenticator app whose source code is open: https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-flutter
