I assume virtually everyone in this place is using some third party ROM. Many of you probably rocking Banana ROM off your Alcatel z657 bought at Boost Mobile in 2012.

But is there any simpleton here like myself who is on stock android? You know, the middle age dude who has "Privacy" as a hobby because he can't afford or have time for a real one. 😶‍🌫️

I'm on a stock Samsung Galaxy S9+. I dabble in privacy using Blokada on my phone, VPN on my PC, and other adblocking extensions and features. I'm not smart enough to do rooting and sideloading. I barely know what an API or APK even does.

I hope to one day be able to absorb the knowledge of folks on here somehow.
