If you search the Google Play Store for a keyboard, there are probably hundreds of different keyboards. Before Swiftkey and Gboard was available, I still remember using GOkeyboard with Go launcher on Android 2.3 gingerbread. I switched over to Swiftkey when Go Keyboard felt laggy. There was also a time where Swype is a popular keyboard for many users.
In 2020, what is the things I think about when using android keyboard?
Taking a break from Google.
Google already knows me more than I know myself. There are times when I don’t want Google to even know what I am typing. It is good to take a break from Google and hide stuff from Google. Swiftkey may be good, but I am not sure if Microsoft is another evil too. Because of this, there are times where I opted for Samsung keyboard on the basis that Samsung is the lesser evil as I do not see the need for them to mine keystroke data. It seemed to be a common norm that Gboard is a good keyboard.
Keyboards also has a built-in feature for incognito mode. Some of this even auto toggle incognito mode when you opens the incognito browser in the mainstream browser…
