Is it possible to replace official embedded microg with my custom build of microg?

microg is a bit more secure than google apps which are closed source, but for me, this api is no more needed, has too much privileges and I don’t want to “maybe” become a “gogol spy bot”… so I just don’t want it installed

The Exposure Notifications API isn’t installed by default, /e/OS comes with a microG version without it (and OS updates will restore this version).

Users who want the Exposure Notifications API in /e/OS have to install the corresponding microG version including it themselves … https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/micro-g#steps-to-install-exposure-notifications-api-on-eos

@jlfreedroid

so my question : if I fork the project, remove all the related code (or build my version of microg without support of this, as it might be possible to do so) and build my own version, will I be able to overwrite the version installed by default?

Replacing the preinstalled microG comes up from time to time here, but I didn’t follow this thoroughly enough to give an answer, perhaps there’s something here … Is possible to upgrade microg? … or in the forum search.
