It's almost like Google wants me to trade my android phone in on an iphone.

You'll still be using a Chromium based browser. Best bet is to switch to Firefox.

Safari isn't Chromium based. Chromium's engine is forked from Safari.

Which itself was forked from KHTML according to wikipedia at least

They'll succeed if they keep it up. My Pixel is the buggiest phone I've ever had anyway. I hate a lot of the weird little iPhone restrictions but at this point Android is getting irritating. It should be best on the Pixel but it's not. All this BS trying to kill the open Internet is just a good reason to cut Google out, especially browser wise and device/OS.

Hey! Try using GrapheneOS! It's a degoogled version of Android! If I'm not mistaken it uses MicroG (google services, but private and open source) instead of google services! It's specifically made for Pixels! https://grapheneos.org/ (I never used it personally, as I do not own a pixel, but I've only heard good things about it.

Try Linux phone- Pine64 Its in early stages but supporting them is our best bet

Go with a de-googled operating system for android

I wouldn't personally switch to any Apple device at all because of the Apple being so closed off
