That is tempting, especially if I knew I wouldn't lose some picky software. I think I'm in a reasonable state of balance between Google and privacy at the moment.

I quite honestly have only found one app that doesn't work: eBay. Even my banking app works. I've had zero issues, I'd even venture to say a better overall experience than stock android has ever been. There is such a granular level of control. I love it.

I'm into privacy, but I really enjoy my pixel as it is too. The main concern is my Dexcom continuous blood glucose monitor. It gives annoying warnings about not being tested with the current os version every time I update. I don't even use betas.

I didn't even consider compatibility with a medical device. Good point.

eBay has recently done something with their app. I had been using it on my Motorola installed from Aurora store but recently it would no longer work it insisted on installing from Play. I had to reenable Play services and try and found out now Play just says my phone isn’t a compatible device. Which is absurd.

Someone made a bad decision and their app has gotten really fucked. I just use the webapp instead now. On that device, anyhow.
