As Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in the future. They’re going to eventually ban adblockers for chromium. We need to quickly respond with alternatives to android, we must end this market consolidation.

I run Ubuntu Touch on Google Pixel 3A XL and use Firefox and waydroid for android apps. Runs great even though it was released back in 2019. Governments must legislate all phone boot loaders, and service providers, be unlocked.

Just curious, but does Waydroid open the full OS environment like it does on desktop or does it just open apps in a container?

It opens a full containerized android session.

Does it suspend the Linux UI? Seems like unnecessary overhead to be running two DEs/launchers

[–] Rakenclaw@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

No, you can still access ubuntu touch programs/ui. So far it seems to run fine for me with my usage. ymmv
