I highly recommend switching to GrapheneOS, it is very easy to install, even from another phone completely GUI.
apart from that, disable all google crap you dont need including gmail, and it will not show anymore and block that place.
You could maybe also disable "open links" in gmail app settings (long press on icon, app info) but I think this doesnt work
I can't really disable Gmail though, because I have two accounts that currently rely on it.
did you try what other people said, namely going to Gmail app info (depends on your lancher/settings layout) > Set as default > Open supported links (toggle to disable)?
Yes you need to register a new device on the website and it works, never did it but a friend of mine
You can use your Gmail accounts on different clients. Both Fairemail and K-9 Mail support it.
I'm very attracted by grapheneOS, but got absolutely addicted to paying with my phone in the short time I've had an NFC chip on one.
I was too, but honestly it cuts down on impulse buying which is nice.
