In the old days the Tech sub used to be full of interesting stuff, third party developed stuff, a million ways to personalise your phone, one thing of interest is the removal of bloatware.

I found something interesting on Gitlab
The UAD is a "Bash script using ADB to debloat
rooted and non-rooted android devices. Improve your privacy, the security and battery life of your device."
"The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improve security by reducing
the attack surface. The script has a menu that lets you choose what debloat list you want to use. I strongly encourage you to take a look at the lists because the default selection may not suit you. All packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not."
This seems like a very interesting tool, when I have the time I'll try and test it. I currently block apps from connecting to the Internet, use privacy browsers and ad blockers.
Edit: Here is a similar tool, suggested by

- If so, which one and what do you like /dislike about it?
- If not, what precautions do you do take, if any?
