Haha jokes on you, I lied. I’m not using LineageOS. I’m posting from a Google Chrome web browser on my Chromebook running ChromeOS. I don’t even know what LineageOS is, I just Googled it. Maybe I’ll switch to it after watching a YouTube tutorial on it, but for now my phone is just a rock and a string that I stare at for 3 hours a day ☺️ because I refuse to use Android
The Rock™ is a smartphone manufactured by Dwayne Technologies. It has a unique cooking feature that allows users to smell it when looking for it. Which is much better than its competitor by Cena Phones which is literally impossible to find.
Edge and Chrome are both closed source and owned by companies, so your comparison is just not valid.
Using AOSP is certainly not supporting Google’s monopoly: AOSP is totally open source, was bought by Google a long time ago and they don’t own it due to its license (aside from the name maybe). Meaning you can still flash Android on a system without paying or using Google’s services or products.
It’s like saying you contribute to Google’s monopoly because you use Linux and Google (also) used it in its Chromebooks.
Chromium doesn’t need Chrome to exist either: it’s a separate project and if Google doesn’t want to support it anymore, someone can easily fork it to continue having Chromium-based browsers.
That’s the property of open source: anybody can inspect and fork it.
