> They don't keep out adware. Android, like all google products, is adware.

  This comment deserves an award for the most uncomfortable truth of 2020.

    It’s a bold statement, if no longer what I would call a “hot-take” for anyone around here. So that comment is illuminating uncomfortable truths? Really? The #1 uncomfortable truth in a year built of them? Are you sure?

      What's bold about "<advertising company> products are adware"?

  On the other hand on my android phone I use firefox+uBlock and see no ad at all even on youtube...

    You might test out something like Guardian VPN and see just how much stuff your phone is trying to send over the wire without your consent. (Guardian is iOS-only, afaik, but surely there must be Android equivalents.)

      Netguard has per app blocking with logging/alerts, it's open source and on fdroid/play store. People aren't going to like what they see. One that always annoyed me was a google services app pinging a geoip url everytime I connected to wifi.
