hardened_malloc
Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
There are steps available to mitigate those issues, including using AOSP without Google Play Services. GrapheneOS is also a great option for those with a more extreme threat model since it's even more private than iOS. However, how much usability you can sacrifice for privacy depends entirely on you.
...which is why removing Google Play Services from Android improves its privacy dramatically. AOSP on its own works just fine. MicroG and Sandboxed Google Services (only on GrapheneOS) are available for those cases that require those proprietary components.
