That sounds great @plamen!

Non-scientific answer, bit based on what I understand I won’t have the following on my device at all:

  • Meta (FB, Instagrm, What’s App)
  • Google (everything)
  • Microsoft (except 2 see below¹)
  • X
  • Reddit
  • Discord
  • Spotify

(¹ For Microsoft I need to use Outlook & Teams so I have this sndboxed as best you can in Android from main profile and not allowed to run except when I have them open, location not allowed, etc.)

I do use things like:

  • Proton Suite
  • Signal (Molly)
  • Tuta Mail App
  • 1Password (or Bitwarden²)
  • Obtainium
  • Brave
  • Bluesky (but locked down³)
  • Mastodon
  • Musicolet (local music playback)
  • Grayjay (for YT as well as Brave)

(² Some people have expressed concern over Bitwarden now big money is invested but I think its not an immediate concern for average person.)

(³ i.e. no location, etc.)

I have not used or checked Rumble app but am not inclined to use it. I have not heard of Audius Music.

I also came from an iPhone and have done a list of the initial apps I went with:
