What drop in equivalent exists for Android? I have no desire to move to iOS.

What drop in equivalent exists for Google maps? I have used OpenStreetMap for a personal project and have tried other proprietary options. If Google maps disappeared, life would go on but I would be worse off.

What equivalent exists for Chrome? Even on desktop I prefer Chrome over Firefox. On mobile, Firefox falls far behind Chrome.



Fortunately for you, Android and Chromium are FOSS and not going anywhere. For maps there is OSM with several available frontends, Bing maps, and Apple Maps has a web version.


No one is denying alternatives exist, people are denying alternatives exist that are anywhere near as good.


Will OSM tell me which subway lines to use and what time the next train comes and how much the different possible routes cost?


What FOSS organizations will pick up Android? Or are you talking about someone like Samsung taking up the reigns for Android?
