Question Trusted Certificates

[Margete]

Is this normal? Is there a way to check which of these certificates are necessary / legit?

Background: Upon a fresh install of the phone, it seems to find malware/spyware/bloatware pretty quickly. For the sake of security and privacy, I am trying to find the culprit.

There is a very, very long list of trusted credentials. I was surprised by this and wondered if this is normal. I generally don't check this so I don't know what is there by default or what is normally there.

"On Android, "trusted certificates" refer to the root certificates that the device trusts to verify the authenticity of other certificates, ensuring secure communication. These certificates, issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs), are pre-installed in the Android operating system.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What are Certificates?
Digital certificates are like digital IDs that verify the identity of a website, server, or application.
Why are they important?
They are used to establish secure connections (like HTTPS) and ensure that you are communicating with the legitimate server or application. "
