I tried it for a while. I got caught up in the ‘privacy’ crowd on Reddit and went all out for a bit. Even de-googled my Android phone at the time. It is inconvenient as fuck. And you’re going to be spending more time tinkering and looking for workarounds and alternate software than actually ever getting anything done. All just to stop an advertising company from detecting what you clicked on, or for the website owner to never get any telemetry.
Yeah I’ve been running graphene for years. I can understand how the technically illiterate might have problems on rare occasion. Multiple stores can get confusing. Launchers are a thing. Nevertheless its nothing over the frustration I had previously carrying something I couldn’t trust in my pocket.
Nah it’s really not convenient when it comes to things like banking apps that get fussy about how customised your phone is. It’s fine most of the time but you’re going to be running into issues at inconvenient times when you don’t really have the time to sit and play. Although I’m also talking a couple of years ago now, chances are things have improved.
disabling javascript
Yeah you’re basically breaking everything. I did this before it was chic when I had a Nokia phone running Opera Mini lmao.

de-googling your android can be pretty easy and convenient, nothing compared to disabling javascript IMO

My impression was that the OP was about disabling javascript. I’ve also had issues with banking apps on CalyxOS and iodéOS, but overall could be worse
