    Sure, in the short term. I’ve switched to DDG and I’m not getting another Pixel when I need a new phone, and hoards of tech savvy people are feeling the same way. Dissatisfaction is causing them to lose customers and talent.

    Eventually, they’ll start feeling it in their bottom line. And by then it might be too late to change course.

      When you’re ready for a new phone, check out the Fairphone! I got that with CalyxOS. Works and feels just like Pixel, but super private 👍

          Not sure where you’re located but I live in the USA and have it. I just ordered the phone int and then signed up with a US carrier.
