Soul browser because it’s the most complete and most customizable. Just a little bug currently made me switch to firefox, but as soon as it gets patched I’ll go back.
Depends on usage. If I have 2 hands available Firefox, u lock Origin is a must on a modern web. But if I need one hand free for… let’s say holding an umbrella, then cromite, based on the chrome fork based off of bromite. As much as I don’t like chrome, on Android it’s the only browser that has gestures, which makes one handed usage perfect. Cromite, just has adblockers built int and lacks many of the tracking stuff too.
Firefox with a couple of extensions. But i have to use chrome with some webs (mainly from the town council, and several official institutions) because don’t work properly with Firefox.
you need to get a different device. As others suggested a watch is your best bet but dont expect those options to respect your privacy any more or less than google.
For the moto E4, Motorola has a guide in their support site to unlock the bootloader. I used it to be able to flash a 64bit rom for my moto g4 plus and the process was pretty straightfoward, although you do need a pc to use the adb command line tool.
So did you do any alternative rom or just flash to get a clean copy? I’d love to put something else on there it’s actually a pretty nice device. I usually don’t love Motorola but they have their gems here and there.
Oh yeah. My initial plan was to install termux on it and use it as a server for a simple webpage I wanted to make, but the official rom i had was 32bit and the newer termux releases only support 64bit os.
I was going to give up, but while digging for more info I found out that for some reason the chip on my moto g4 was 64bit but not the OS. So I searched in the depths of the xda forums for a 64bit rom, which resulted in way too many dead links and dubious sources. Ended up using some obscure anime themed custom rom that crashed whenever I wanted to open the camera or use the flashlight BUT, it installed and ran termux nicely.
Overall I got what I wanted, but there wasn’t any good quality rom I could find as they all had some sort of flaw. Hope you get better luck though! Those phones are still perfectly usable if not for lack of software support
You could try to flash a generic android image, although it seems like those have degraded in quality judging from the linus tech tips video that mentioned this
GSI (Generic System Image) ROM-s do have bare-bones apps due to their nature of being mostly designed for developers. That won’t really be a problem as you can just install better alternatives to those apps. The problem with these ROM-s is that they most likely won’t have drivers for the camera for example. Also the phone has to be Treble-compliant and it has to come with Android 9 (ie. it has to be preinstalled, devices that have been upgraded to Android 9 aren’t supported.)
