Re: Somehow I think the EU is going to reject this "remedy"
"The things that they are charging $40 for include YouTube and Google Maps. You can provide an equivalent API, but good luck providing equivalent data behind the API."
Youtube works quite well on my Firefox Focus, just like I use Youtube via a web browser on my PC.
Google Maps, do they allow offline maps these days? I'm pretty happy with the competition: HERE WeGo has the stupidest name ever but that and say, Maps.me work pretty well.
I certainly have no problems having a Google-free phone.
