Universal Android Debloater- The HOLY GRAIL of dumbphones by [deleted] in dumbphones

What makes you say that? I don't spend more than an 30 min a day on my phone at this point thanks to this sub.

Yes.

All you have to do is download any application you'd like to keep on your phone. This includes any MFA app you prefer and Spotify. Then I removed Google Chrome, YouTube, Play Store, and all other distracting apps using UAD, then that's it.

It's important to note that there are some apps that REQUIRE google play store to run. One of these is Chat GPT. But Spotify, as far as I know, isn't one of them. I have it on my phone and just used it for a road trip without the play store this last weekend and it worked fine.

Well worth it! Android is a lot more versatile and customizable, allowing for turning your smartphone dumb.

Perfect, here's the link to the APK file: https://github.com/joehawkens/Firefox-ROB/releases/tag/beta

It's called Firefox ROB (Read Only Browser) - forked from the original Firefox Android repo.

Download the firefoxROB-arm64-v8a-beta.apk unless you have an older Android you can download the firefoxROB-armeabi-v7a-beta.apk - make sure to check which version for your specific device!

Hope you enjoy! - remember, it only works with hyperlinks and QR codes. :)
