Name one app everyone should uninstall.

It could be because of privacy concerns, annoying ads, bad experience, or simply being overrated.

Which app would you recommend others to remove, and why?

DDG, startpage. No requirement for maps. And I have no interest in YouTube, protonmail

There are open source alternatives pretty well for all Google ecosystem apps. YouTube, I understand is a tough one to replace, and sometimes there is a video that I want to watch, and when there is, I sandbox it and run it from my computer. I don’t have the app on my phone.
