Or, in other words, FBI now recommends using Android :-) It's baffling how much better uBlock Origin + Firefox experience on Android is compared to any iOS ad blocker I have tried. They kind-of work but let half of the ads through.

Yeah, android trades browser ads for system wide tracking. I’m not really sure that’s a good deal.

That is only if you have Google Play Services installed.

That's ... near a necessity for most apps.

Though I seem to recall GPS shim that's available and which I really should swap in on my BOOX tablet.

Most F-Driod apps don't require Google Play Services. If you can live within the functionality provided by those apps then you're OK.

That said, I know many can't.
