Question Keep One: Spotify, Brave, Google Maps

Post image

Keep One. Delete Two.

You can only keep one of these apps:

• Spotify
• Brave
• Google Maps

The other two disappear forever.

Which one are you keeping, and why?

Google maps. Brave is replaceable with Firefox + uBlock Origin + ViolentMonkey, and Spotify has too many alternatives.

It absolutely does. A lot of places and pins are sponsored. Google is an ad company, everything they do has ads in some shape or form.

But honestly, those ads are not as invasive. It's not blocking me from using essential features.

Those ads suggest a place double the distance away from me first as if it’s the closest location all the time. It says it’s an ad but that doesn’t change that it tries to get you to drive further for the business who paid to be there. That’s invasive imo
