This story with restricting users is a similar one to Manifest V3 in Chromium.

But we don't have anything like FF as an alternative to go from Android. Especially considering banks require "certified OS".

I switched to a Linux smartphone because I've had enough of the duopoly.

I also switched banks so I can use my bank card as the 2FA device, similar to CAP. [0]

Probably in the long run the only way to go will be to own/carry two devices. A long supported phone with stock firmware and apps you are "forced" to use to interface with the world around you, and a second Linux portable machine where you have your freedom.

This is what I expressed considering, in another recent thread. Phone does phone things and "necessary" apps. Otherwise, it's a hotspot for the "unhindered" device.

I'd enjoy suggestions as to suitable unhindered devices.

P.S. I just hope we can continue to access / create unhindered devices -- and programs/apps (cough Manifest v3 cough).
