    K-9 got rebranded to Thunderbird. I see Mozilla are releasing K-9 at the same time, but I’m unsure why. Thunderbird is double the size so there must be some kind of difference

    I’ve found that I too had to keep Google Play Store because some apps complain if it goes missing. However I’ve blocked network access for it (something GrapheneOS can do) and it’s effectively cut off from the mothership.

        Neither have reported trackers on the Aurora store. But I would suspect it’s some kind of bloat. I’m sure it’s trivial to do an apk teardown and check the source code. I can’t be bothered though.
