    • Firefox with ublock and a normal engine

    • Newpipe for downloading stuff off YT

    • OSMand for offline navigation

    • f-droid for foss software

    • Rethink to carefully ban everything that doesn’t need internet from connecting

    • a phone with a nice amoled screen and all-day quickcharging battery that costs 180€ (motorola g52)

    • not one ad anywhere

    a better question is, why would I want anything else? An iphone seems like a sharp downgrade.

      Just fyi: OSMand is available on iOS.

        I know, and the last time I saw it it was just complete buggy shit with a different UI and nowhere near feature parity.

          It continues to be buggy shit. I tried switching from Google Maps to OSMAnd on iOS and didn’t last a week

      iPhone doesn’t have ads

        If you go to a website in a browser it has ads, yeah?

        Cuz FF with ublock origin prevents that on Android but i don’t believe that’s an option on iPhone

                Neat, I had no idea it allows that now

                  I’m an iPhone beetch but I DEFINITELY would be so happy to have uBlock. There’s some stuff like AdGuard and Wipr but uBlock Origin is undefeated.

            Wipr is also dope! I think AdGuard works better, though.

        The web does without ublock origin.

          Ublock origin isn’t the only adblocker, duh

            I know that and you can keep the others. Take also the new chrome version of ublock origin for manifest v3
