I just wanted to share with you the work of this developer on GitHub, I am a macOS and iOS user and I can’t wait to use this new FOSS adblocker (there are no others on macOS).
I’m not a computer scientist and I don’t have expertise but I try to help by spreading the spread, maybe someone can help or share it again!
Thank you all! P.S. I’m not the developer so I can’t answer any question
I agree partly with your point of view but a iPhone is still a phone that you cannot really tweak and flash and new rom for example
Most people don’t care about that even a little bit. Back in the day I used to use various custom roms on my android devices, it was awesome. But that was then, I have a job and family now and I can’t just reset my phone on a whim because there’s some cool UI tweak in a new rom. Plus, most of the stuff that made custom roms worthwhile has been integrated into the OS nowadays, so the value add is significantly diminished.
I don’t talk about the ui focused rom, but on the private one. Stock iOS and stock android are the same shit, the only reason to change is to use a “degoogled” ROM and iOS won’t let you do that easily
I understand where you’re coming from but that’s just not practical for me, even if I had the specific device. For pretty much the same reasons as before. I tried this once in college, not fully degoogled but using microg. I was able to make it work but the experience was pretty awful and I just don’t want to spend my time managing something like that anymore.
Totally agree. At this point my phone is more of an appliance than a computer. I just need it to do what it is supposed to do and that’s it. I don’t even put games on the phone anymore and am really cognizant of the apps I use.
Heck I even remover Uber and lift apps if I’m not going to be using them for a while.
I used to think that way too. I hated having all the apps on the main screen and the lack of widgets. Nowadays iOS is better and has lets you customize the main screen a lot more. Most iOS users still have all this apps on the main screen but it’s not a necessity like it used to be.
