I'm happy to report that the transition from my to a Google-free Pixel 3a XL running is going amazingly smoothly. I have not had to log into a account even once. For apps, I am using , which downloads and installs the apps anonymously without a Google sign-in, and only a couple of minor apps have failed to install. Even my bank app was easy to install and sign. But I hate that there's no autocorrect or autocomplete.

Screenshot of main screen, showing icons for 15 of my most important apps. A large digital clock dominates the middle of the screen. Towards the bottom of the screen is Vivaldi internet search input box. The background is an abstract image consisting of pink and peach-colored shapes against a white background.A second screen with 25 more icons and music status widget. (I haven't loaded any music yet, so there's just a musical note and a white space.)
