Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they’re all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

    Molly FOSS and Molly with UP replace the Google’s notification system with websocket and UnifiedPush respectively for its own notifications. Google (hopefully) doesn’t have access to all notifications you get on your phone but only to those sent to apps that utilize their push implementation which Molly doesn’t use.

      yes, but while you use the official signal app, doesn’t it work so that signal servers always send the notification to google’s appropriate servers?

      if that’s right, how is it being stopped?
      on Matrix, the Element mobile app has a menu for manually unregistering the push targets.
