UnifiedNlp VS privacybadger

Hello, I'm trying to add microG to my OS by following the microG wiki (very well written!) However, I'm not able to add the additional patch(https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch) to make location work (mentioned here - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation)

https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp - acts as a middle ware for multiple backends which have network location features.

MicroG has a list of NLP modules. Afaik it doesn't harm having several installed and working concurrently. The list here: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp

Get UnifiedNLP - essentially does Locations services but not google

Another option would be to use an other location provider than google, like unifiedNLP.

I assume you are talking about microG. I have no personal experience with this because I've always just installed Gapps, but I wasn't under the impression UnifiedNLP or similar required microG. The installation instructions for UnifiedNLP just talk about downloading a couple APKs, and maybe installing as system apps (https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/HEAD/README.md). I do see that the app itself is made by the microG project, but it does make the claim (in several places I've found while searching) that "most" ROMs support it. What am I missing?

Here's a link to more location backends, you can rule out 4 or 5 since some are old and others are for China.

You can block our site from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins, like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.

Everyone should install the browser extension Privacy Badger, created by the nonprofit privacy organization Electronic Frontier Foundation. It blocks tracking pixels like the ones described in this article as well as many other forms of tracking that AdBlockers do not.

If you watch on a laptop or pc, try Privacy Badger. It's a browser extension made by the EFF that's blocks third party trackers from monitoring your web activity.

Installing more extensions is the best way to compromise your security. You should keep your extension list as short as possible. So uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger which is built by the EFF

No-one should get close to the internet without running Privacy Badger and adblock.

Do you watch mlb.tv on a computer? Privacy Badger is an extension created by the EFF that's designed to block third party trackers.

I think what you may be looking for is alternative privacy options.
