Pixel phones don't have facebook preinstalled

  They've got the rest of Google's software preinstalled on the other hand. I don't want every single Google service on my phone, and some of them you can't uninstall.

    I was actually surprised at how obnoxious the forced Google Assistant integration was on an Android One phone compared to an Essential Phone, which is about as bloat-free as you can get for Android.

      I always loved LG and their G series of phones despite always bundling Facebook garbage, and this time around they added a button for Google Assistant. I disabled that button, too often would I accidentally press it and now my convos go off into the corporate cloud to be lost in who knows what state. Worse yet: I can't repurpose the button. I would love a "Skip Song" button on my phone for when I'm driving.
