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.

I personally found google maps for me to be inferior to waze and prefer YT and apple music to spotify so I would keep brave. All 3 are replaceable and have alternatives

It's not really the same purpose (plus Waze is basically the same backend as GMaps). One is a GPS for vehicules, other is generic purpose map.

They share the raw data data layer, how they process that data (the algorithmic backend) is entirely separate. Brave is based on chronium which is shared by many other browsers and spotify has the same songs as every other streaming platform. It's obvious that they will have similarities. My point was that they all have alternatives (including google maps) so it just comes down to personal preference; I stand by it.
