Should I delete the Google app from my phone?
I wouldn't risk it personally. If you want to de-google your phone you should probably unlock the bootloader (you'll lose all data) and flash a custom rom

I used to use it but then I just downloaded aria2 (what motrix is using) and it's as fast as motrix with a little bit of configuration. aria2 supports both direct downloads and magnet links, it's a command line tool though

Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
Because you can install any apk you want so you can get apps from github/f-droid. on ios to sideload you need to do some stuff with itunes iirc

A few months ago someone (journalist?) claimed authorities cracked his 30+ char strong Veracrypt (or TrueCrypt?) passphrase. His computer was turned off when apprehended. I can not locate the story.
