The first ads in the Windows 11 Start menu will look familiar.

The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

    All android phone

    Not Fairphones. Fairphones are ad-free, bloatware-free and privacy-focused.

      FP4 user here. while that is true, any android ROM with google services on it isn’t privacy-focused.

      but i don’t want to miss out on clash of clans, so here i am using their bullshit spyware.

      Their mission is amazing but I’m not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn’t also ad-laden.

        The Murena Fairphones in the U.S. are de-googled. They have replacements for pretty much everything, including email. You can import your google contacts. You can import your google calendar into the de-googled calendar and access it from app or web just like the google version. The only google stuff on my fairphone is what I put on it myself. And I can still download and run every app on the google play store if I choose.

          Murena Fairphone

          That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.
