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.

        Pihole might solve that.

        Either way, though, I would love for linux phones to become valid alternatives to android.

          Netguard is also great. I set it to block all apps network access by default, and have a whitelist with apps that actually need it. It has significantly reduced the amount of ads and tracking significantly from my phone.

          We need a safe home for ReVanced and to give google less of an argument for removing as it would be ran on a Linux phone os

            Sorry but thats not true. A lot of seevices bake ads into their video signal. Neither a dhcp nor a dns can change that. You need to have something that reads that signal and decides on that.

        Ads have been in Android apps for 15 years, you can generally block them all with Private DNS
