Interesting that the author makes the point that choice is important for an OS like Android, and then recommends only Google-made alternatives to make it "as Google intended". Google software != best software, necessarily.

Yeah, but many people like myself use Google services on android, so it's a good alternative.

Even if it is choosing the default, then that is still something I actually wanted. What really enrages me is to see how all that stupid Samsung software lives its secret life for itself on my phone, without me being able to make the choice to get rid of it. That stuff sits there, updates all the time and annoys me. Like a bunch of squatters living in my house.

Thanks for that "HP printer driver" btw, I really needed that one, Samsung.
