Hi, I had the same problem, because of the Ad bullshit. I switched to a Pi 4 with the Argone One Case. This thing looks nice. Fair enough it costs a bit, but I personal think it has some nice features. For the OS, I tried OSMC but it had no YT with Sponsor/Ad-Block featured. So I installed lineageOS and Android TV with SmartTube. Also Jellyfin. That’s enough for me. I couldn’t get Netflix or Disney+ to work for now, but it is not my main concern.

Ok so that will defeat my goal of Not getting ads.

If you dont root that will Not be possible. Playstore is a key Feature of most Android Roms that ship with the phones. I run grapheneos. There i have Google Services disabled im my core Profile and have a separate Profile with Gplay. I know, that due to imei and other factors Google could easily track me possible but that’s Not my worry

Hey, i used a fresh version of Tor, Mullvad and on moblie the browser Vanadium. Every time it says I am unique. How do you become “not unique”?

I think that’s a good setup. If you must have Facebook Messenger, my advice would be to maybe use a work profile for apps that track you. Compartmentalization is the key word here. Apps like Shelter make it really easy. I have to use WhatsApp and that is an app that is in the “unsafe” profile, aka work profile.

So true. Someone needs to make a Web extension hat just crowdsources the awnser. Like: “You wouldn’t belive hat happened next” “He Fell asleep. Read here how and why, if you like:”
