To be honest, im more than Tired of this whole “Mimimi, Google is restricting installing Android apps, so its worse than iOS now Mimimi”

So heres 4 Options, how to Opt out of Gservices, and therefore not have this whole Debacle of Verified Apps, in varying degrees of Difficuilty from “3 Year old iPad kid can do this” (Aka install Via Browser) to “You have to Copy 3 Text snippets and Paste them”, to even “Order Online”.

And before everyone starts Crying, there are more than Enough Apps and Alternatives to the Propriatery stuff youve been using until now. No, you dont need a Burgerking App, no, you dont need an App for Kaufland. They are Selling your Data, and thats the only reason they Exist. If you consent with having your Data sold, you have no reason to opt out of Gapps anyway.

  1. Install Via Web Browser.
  1. Install Manually (aka. Paste 3 or so Lines into cmd)
  1. Adb and Magisk MicroG Module (Please use uBlocks Badware Filter list, as there are many fake Sites)
  1. Buy a Degoogled Phone

      You’re lucky your bank doesn’t require a phone. Nationwide pushes you to use a banking app on mobile, and if you want to use the website anyway, every time you’ll have to input a passcode and an SMS verification code, or use a physical card reader.

      I do their same too, but unfortunately, my Bank requires a costum 2fa app for any Kind of online payments and online banking, but fortunately dosent use Play protect, so I can just make a profile with the apps + sandboxed Gservices

      I mean, I could use Paypal since it has the Option for SEPA and handle all my online stuff, but I’d rather just use my card instead of paypal
