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.

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.
Is this something a normie could do? I run fedora on my laptop, but I never really get past anything more than basic GUI stuff. I mainly use it for writing papers for school and some web browsing. My phone, however, I use pretty heavily. It’s where I do 95+% of my web browsing, Lemmy, YouTube, streaming video, and some of my school stuff. Banking apps I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to use on that, but I could always use my bank through the browser, I’d imagine.
It’s fairly straight forward. Just need to make sure your unlocked phone includes the bootloader being unlocked. There’s a list of supported devices for UT on this link. https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
Just curious, but does Waydroid open the full emulator OS environment like it does on desktop or does it just open apps in a container?
It opens a full containerized android session.
Does it suspend the Linux UI? Seems like unnecessary overhead to be running two DEs/launchers
No, you can still access ubuntu touch programs/ui. So far it seems to run fine for me with my usage. ymmv
This comment right here folks!
