Anyone using GOS on their Pixel with their real Google account and use it as-if it were (or close to) stock? A lot of the videos and reviews I read online about GOS are usually from the "I don't want to exist online" but I still want a smartphone approach. Not many who use GOS as if it was just another ROM (or even stock).
I prefer Android overall versus iOS. I've used stock and custom Android ROMs for many, many years. I simply want a highly secure, custom "ROM" that allows a lot of options to tweak and tune as I want and not share or leak my data where I don't want it going. I thought of setting up the owner profile with all the usual Google apps/services and then maybe one or two additional profiles for "Social" apps and another profile for apps that I use for work, but that's basically it.
I'm still gaining over stock Pixel Android, yes? And not losing anything in terms of how much data does Google ingest, record, take from me??
