> I finally got fed up and switched back to Android where I grabbed Fennec F-Droid, installed uBlock Origin and finally had a decent mobile browser.

Just to note, There's a full-desktop Firefox available with mobile layout in PostmarketOS for Linux Phones. Here's the device I drive daily[1].

postmarketOS is incredibly promising, but unfortunately the devices I've tried it on are still very unstable.

Full-fat Firefox felt surprisingly usable on Pinephone under Phosh though.

Even then: Fennec F-Droid is a compelling choice. It has a pretty good mobile experience.


SDM 845 devices, Especially OP6/6T and Xiaomi Poco F1 has changed the landscape for PostmarketOS(Still is not for everyone though).

Firefox/Fennec F-Droid is indeed great (Especially since UBO is supported), But unfortunately in Android almost every enthusiast project involves privilege escalation and in this case F-Droid auto update apps requires one too.
