I use a custom ROM on my Pixel phone to strip out all the user-hostile tracking. It works quite well honestly, no major usability sacrifices
- urthor 5y agoIs this your custom ROM, or is it a widely known one?
- Georgelemental 5y agoLineageOS with MicroG
- hellisothers 5y agoWould the tracker blocking available on iOS at the OS level mostly suffice for this?
- lawl 5y agoNot the person you asked, but no. Because that would mean you have to trust iOS to not track you. I can be convinced that Apple is less bad than Google in that regard, but if Apple has nothing to hide, then they can let me have root, so I can verify, right :) ?
- mixedCase 5y agoSafetyNet?
- hypothesis 5y agoAre you somewhere where banks won’t let you use their website and force app usage?
- WithinReason 5y agoNFC payments?
- hypothesis 5y agoThat’s fair. Although I personally don’t need that tied to my phone. Maybe it could be substituted with contactless cards?
- sofixa 5y agoThe advantage of phone NFC payments is that there's no limit, unlike with a card which is usually capped rather low (50/100€ here in France).
- mixedCase 5y agoEssentially but not exactly. Their website is unusable on a phone. Just switching from mobile mode to desktop mode after login will expire your session.
