However there are some apps that I must have, like authenticator, mobile bank and government apps.

Big lol. Gafam and commercial apps.

i use postmarketos, i allow only non-commercial and opensource apps ; i huge hate common apps. I just use sms/phone/emails and gnome maps. that’s it

a bank requiring me to get their app is a bank whom account is closed within the day : they already have sms 2FA, already too much, now either you go with google/apple and commercial apps, or do without. On my side, any android/aosp/apple application is jerked out, no way for me to run them. Prefer even bberry curve. Dumbphone. I just take postmarketos for the touch keyboard, but everything except apps.

“pls install this app pls install it you need it to continue plus use the app only the app” <= when you guys will understand that [your phone] is not your phone anymore, but their device? It costs you a lot, in addition with expensive subscription, to make their cost cut, even while price will still grow up? iphone/android/aosp never again in my life…

murena = android = google somewhere, even if there are no google service installed : google says B tomorrow instead of A today, you will have to change. I dont even speak of Apple. For me postmarketos is new heaven of freedome, never to this mania of apps apps apps everywhere again. Apps are just the new pratical life disaster. Good luck with them !

jolla = sailfish = hybris or halium, both using some code or blobs from androd/aosp.

only solution : postmarketos or librem. Take your choice. But android apps are clearly related far or close to gafam. Deal with it :)

google/apple/android/aosp/iphone not allowed in my life :)

the 5 people

i dont think there are only five guys disabling JS on google search, but just by noscript without exceptions, it’s only 200k on firefox… but who would use evil chromium today?

yt-dlp direct to > peertube. Never google/yt again, i would prefer books instead cooperate with them

but I’m not going to pretend like asking companies to make HTML/CSS-only versions of their sites is a reasonable request i

believe me, its over a reasonable request, it’s a duty, a respect for technology : javascript towards to enshitification, pure html/css is heaven while JS became now pure evil.

why no one quotes searx instances? https://searx.space/

or even paid search engines : kagi.
