I debloat my Android phones within a week of obtaining them and then,
almost weekly if not more often, I slowly debloat what I missed at first.

Mostly I use adb to uninstall everything that I don't want but I admit I
mostly tell that on a case-by-case basis looking at the package name.

Sometimes I look up what the package does; most of the time I don't bother.

It's not difficult to debloat; there's no risk at all since every package
you remove can easily be re-installed if it causes problems by being gone.

Sometimes I miss bloatware though, especially hidden bloat, but luckily my
Muntashirakon App Manager tells me with a tag for apps that are bloatware.
