This might be a dumb question so apologies in advance. I’m looking into degoogled phones but haven’t taken the plunge yet. If I logged in and used the aurora store to get apps I paid for in the past, will that ''regoogle" my device and allow google to track me again through signing in and using those apps?
If you want to use proprietary apps the best option is probably dumping the APK from your “Googled” phone then sideloading it onto the new phone. However it may be difficult to keep up with updates unless you have a dedicated phone to download them.
