Can you install Librewolf on Android with the instructions for 'other Linux'? Why are Linux phones still in development and not able to be daily driven if you could just swith distros, fork Android, etc?

Most of it can be removed with adb. The commands arent even difficult,

adb shell
pm list packages
pm [-k] --user 0 [package-name]

Here is a great writeup.

Plus there are plenty of very minimalist distros (hell, I'd say most distros are minimalist).

I'm also not going to blame Linux generally, for something a company adds on top of a Linux kernel.

The Android problem is a different issue altogether.

Thanks for sharing! I'm a tad hesitant for things like this because I'm not running out of space (complaining about bloat is over-done) and I had a rooted Android become unrooted.
