Besides Chrome, Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative is on Android to let apps show you relevant ads in a more private manner. The beta started earlier this year, and Google is now prompting more users about it with new Ad privacy settings.

    As much as I love Android and its potential (custom ROMs), stock Android will never be privacy friendly because the number one ad company in the world is behind their development.

    Granted you can make stock Android very private through using NetGuard and only open source apps where you can, but Google themselves will still have all of your information because of root access

      instead of using the term stock android, use oem version or say stock os

      as stock android is aosp which doesn’t have proprietary google crap with root access
