      But they won’t be de-googled. I assume Google has some sort of Trojan software that remains permanently in the background that users can’t see.

      GrapheneOS lets you install Google Play Services locked inside a sandbox inside a separate profile, which might work?

      The whole system is designed around identifying you as an individual (and until now about making you as miserable as possible until you gave up), so I’m not sure how happy Google would be if you tried that.

          Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think having a separate profile for just Captcha verification through Play would be more akin to having a separate phone for the purpose. Provided you only used that separate profile for the single purpose, then closed it
