Stop using Chrome? Firefox works with uBlock Origin just fine.

One can use firefox or deviations.

Why are you using Chrome or a Chromium based browser. Change now, as the first step.

I run Ubuntu Touch on Google Pixel 3A XL and use Firefox and waydroid for android apps. Runs great even though it was released back in 2019. Governments must legislate all phone boot loaders, and service providers, be unlocked.

Isn’t Firefox an alternative? Works today.

I‘m using postmarketOS and helping with development.

From what I've heard uBlock Origin Lite only barely falls short of the ad-blocking coverage that regular uBO offers, so there will still be options for Chrome users after this happens, not to mention the multitude of alternative browsers and app stores for Android.

I still think that making Linux phones a viable alternative is very important, but it's not significantly more important now than it was a month ago.

Yup. We need to get away from Google, if we really want privacy. I'm glad I switched to a Linux desktop, but Google collects a crap load of info.

I'm donating $1 a month to postmarketOS in my retaliation against Google

I wish I could, but I'm broke as a badger and need to get a GrapheneOS phone first, moving onto getting a Linux phone second and using it to contribute towards development.

What are the current viable choices for everyday use? I currently use a Pixel 6a with Graphene and I like it a lot as it does everything I want it to. It doesn't work with my bank app but I don't really care about that as I just use a browser when I need to access it.

Ubuntu touch, postmarket and sailfish are the ones I have heard of but I don't know what state they are in in terms of how usable they are on a day to day basis.

What does this have to do with Android? 100% expected this to be about the Graphene issue, but instead it's a simple "use Firefox or a fork."

Currently running DivestOS on my second-hand fully degoogled Fairphone 3 and everything works pretty much perfectly (a couple minor things are glitchy but it's only aesthetic). I get 80 % of my apps from F-Droid and the remaining from Aurora Store. Things like my bank apps also work after setting up microG

Meanwhile, you’ve been able to use ad blockers on Safari for iOS for years and years. Once the EU forces Apple to let developers publish actual other browsers on the App Store (and not just reskinned Safari), iOS should be pretty great in terms of browsing liberty & comfort.

While we're on this topic:

Anyone running PostmarketOS for daily driver? I got a Fairphone 4 running LineageOS but am thinking to switch to it. I looked on the wiki but seems the support is incomplete..

Only issue is that you can't interact with most corporate services.. I want to see Linux phones succeed as well
