Firefox for android is the only way I can block reddit and twitter as a means to improve my focus. I can't access my hosts file because to do so would require root, which apparently would break Android / Google / Samsung Pay (I'm not sure the difference between them, but apparently rooting breaks them, and I use.. er.. one of them, I dunno which one).

> I can't access my hosts file These days you don't need to. Blokada (https://blokada.org/index.html https://blokada.org/index.html) takes over your DNS and gives a bad response when a domain on your blocklist is requested. Other options are to set your phone's DNS server to a pi-hole or to use a VPN to a network that has a pi-hole. > which apparently would break Android / Google / Samsung Pay Not the case anymore. Magisk (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk...) is able to pass the Safetynet checks that most of these apps rely on. You may need to use the "Magisk Hide" and "Hide Magisk Manager" features though.
