again.
Normal android device can run android without a trace of google. How is running an app dependent on google services like whatsup better on top of sailfish than it is on top of AOSP?
I agree that bunch of apps are needlessly tied too google services even if some of them will run just fine if we ignore complaint while some won't at all. Micro G can help but it's not a 100% solution. But even if we ignore all those apps and use just ones which don't need google services we still have much wider choice than on sailfish.
AOSP is open source with the same closed blobs that sailfish needs.
Bottom line is, using only OSS on AOSP will give more options than we have on sailfish. Is that enough to get us trough the day or do we need something that needs google is another question. All I need is an explanation why is using google over android emulator on top of sailfish better, safer, more private, whatever..... then using it on top of AOSP or some stock ROM that includes all of their services?
