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.

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/
