Ask HN: If you tried your best to avoid tracking, what phone would you get?
If you were to get a new phone today that places value on privacy/not tracking, what path would you go?
Trying to strike a balance between privacy, usability, stability, and price I'm finding it hard to find a decent option.
- edent 7y agoTracking by whom? If you're worried about advertisers - you have two choices. On any phone you can root, replace the HOSTS file using https://adaway.org/ https://adaway.org/ On phones you cannot root, use https://blokada.org/index.html https://blokada.org/index.html to create a tracker blocking VPN. Run Firefox as your main browser. Use sandboxed apps for Facebook, Twitter, etc.
- adelrosarioh 7y agoIf we talk about a simple phone just an old Nokia 3310 would do it. In terms of smartphones the Blackberry KEYone claims to be the most secure Android Smartphone. (disclaimer: I have not used this smartphone and I am not a security specialist.)
