      Not to mention that even with the stock OS you can disable most if not all sniffing components. Of course Google still has root but they don’t put their typically don’t embed obfuscated stuff because they don’t need to.

      Note that I’m not arguing that Google isn’t privacy invasive “because you can turn it all off.” The user shouldn’t have to go through this trouble to recover their privacy and the user experience definitively degrades if you do.
