Additional Details

They mainly advertise the version with gapps but you have the option to download a "Vanilla" version that doesnt include gapps or microg.

Can you point to somewhere on the site where it says it's ungoogled in any way? The screenshots show Chrome and Gmail as the default, and the site doesn't mention being privacy focused at all.

Their privacy policy itself is the opposite of private and uses Google tracking, and third-parties.

I am not sure I see any privacy angle here and certainly nothing thats anti-Google.

Like i mentioned at the bottom of this issue, they offer a "vanilla" edition with no gapps or gms

and the site doesn't mention being privacy focused at all.
