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.

    Currently running DivestOS on my second-hand fully degoogled Fairphone 3 and everything works pretty much perfectly (a couple minor things are glitchy but it’s only aesthetic). I get 80 % of my apps from F-Droid and the remaining from Aurora Store. Things like my bank apps also work after setting up microG

      My bank won’t support unlocked phones with custom ROMs. For security reasons. But sure, online banking using any browser is no problem…

      Well, I’m going to ditch them soon anyway but I wonder whether it will be better with the next one.

        You can check your laptop/desktop for banking information twice a day as a compromise until your bank/credit union supports Linux phones.

        My banks technically don’t either but after some tinkering with the aforementioned microG they’re none the wiser :)

      It’s encouraging to see people making their banking apps on alternative OS, as that would be the main obstacle for me if I wasn’t able to pay with my phone nowadays .
