    GrapheneOS lets you install Google Play Services locked inside a sandbox inside a separate profile, which might work?

    The whole system is designed around identifying you as an individual (and until now about making you as miserable as possible until you gave up), so I’m not sure how happy Google would be if you tried that.

      Yes, but then you are tracked on each website and service by google. Entirely against the point of having a google free or sandboxed device.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think having a separate profile for just Captcha verification through Play would be more akin to having a separate phone for the purpose. Provided you only used that separate profile for the single purpose, then closed it

          Its really going to depend on how many sites use it and how it handles tracking. If its IP address linked, then it just links all profiles on the same phone.
