    No. Everything went to shit in 12 with material 3/material you. It looks so bad. Bring back material 2.

    Also of course there’s the whole privacy nightmare that android with Google services is.

      I uovoted your comment because I strongly agree that Google services are bad for users, not just in terms of privacy, but also control over your device. And the opinions about the material you theme is just subjective, even though I think it looks fine.
