I have some apps on my phone that are due for an update via the Google Play Store but I am afraid to update them especially since Google is so dead set on taking out Trump supporters. Just in the past few days Google Play is insisting that most of my apps that I use to get the true news need updates. I get these update notices when I try to use the app. These apps no longer stay logged in. Google is literally kicking me out of the app after a couple of minutes and saying it needs updated. I have never had this happen before. I have left apps not updated for a long time without these problems. I am a techtard. Could one of you amazingly clever techies please tell me if I am being overly paranoid or if something seems wonky?

I use brave browser to block trackers and ads and other sorts of things. You can go pretty deep down the privacy on android rabbit hole and it will never be the same easy to use experience. For me I just use brave and limit social apps as much as possible. So no reddit, FB, Twitter, TikTok (obviosly), whatsapp. Im considering using Telegram for messages but that will be an uphill battle getting my social group using it. Android can also use a VPN by default. That will add another layer of privacy and anti tracking.

I downloaded Brave. Which search engine do you suggest? It is asking me to choose one?

dunckduckgo or bing. Bing is still cucked but has less cucked results than google.
