As Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in the future. They’re going to eventually ban adblockers for chromium. We need to quickly respond with alternatives to android, we must end this market consolidation.

    When government/corporate services are involved, I suggest doing as much as you can via the web browser as opposed to app, in the interests of privacy and civil liberty.

    So long as it’s going through the browser we have a degree of control over functionality and connectivity. Apps strip that away. Apps are you doing everything on their terms, while suffering an ad (their logo) on your home screen rent-free. You can pin browser bookmarks to home as well in Android.

      True. For some reason I was sure I remembered the mobile version of my banks website not working for actual banking, but it turns out it does, at least currently. Hopefully it stays that way and they don’t push too hard for the app. If they do drop it, I can always block app trackers with a DNS service like Mullvad or Quad9
