  • 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.

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

not one ad anywhere

iPhone doesn’t have ads

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] nitefox@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

we have AdGuard that works just as well

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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The web does without ublock origin.

[–] nitefox@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ublock origin isn’t the only adblocker, duh

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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