    Wilden offered some hope for a future in which ROMs could vouch for their non-criminal nature to Google

    Oh, that rubs me the wrong way! It’s my godd***ed device, I paid for it with my money, and I’ll run whatever I damn well want on it (which is never vanilla Android because I refuse to allow my devices to be ad platforms).

    I shouldn’t have to prove anything to anyone let alone have it treated as a “criminal OS” by default.

    Google needs to be broken up and both Chrome and Android divested to 3rd party, non-profit companies (as well as being demoted to a minority on both steering committees).
