First of all, thank you very much for teaching all of this. You did an amazing job! I have a few questions though.
What do we do about existing apps (the ones that come with jewgle)? Do I reset the phone and start from there? Or do I just delete all that I can without messing anything up and then just change the permissions and make everything harmless, and then choose safer apps from now on?
As for browsers. The browser you suggested doesn't work very well on my phone. It also doesn't run through my VPN. I did some research, and Firefox looks good, but its not possible to do everything you suggested, specifically the part about about:config that's only available on the nightly version in Android which might be buggy and less safe. Also not all the extras are available for Android. I installed every extra I could and enabled the privacy options, even the secret ones. Doesn't look very good though, and it still shows an unique fingerprint. Firefox can run through the Orbot VPN, haven't figured out yet if it's the good kind of VPN or not.
Brave has fingerprint hiding features, but it still shows everything about the fingerprint in the websites you suggested, so I'm not sure which one is better at this point. I basically have been using Tor for most of the stuff I do online and specially to log in this forum. And access any ToZ material.
fuck, lost everything I typed. fuck mercury retrograde.
Okay here I go again.
Privacy browser works the best, remember that java is disabled by default and cookies are disabled by default, if you hit the blue shield up top it will turn red turning java on, and if you hit the three dots top right you can turn cookies on, its best to have these off most of the time, but if you are on a site that is not responding try enabling one of these.
also in the three dot menu, you can find proxy, if you click that you can see tor, this is how you connect privacy browser to orbot if you plan to use orbot
if you are going to make your own vpn or use a vpn you trust, you can rought all data from your phone through the vpn by going to adroid settings > network & wireless > vpn > your vpn settings *gear icon* then in there you should see two boxes you can checkmark, always on VPN and block all connections without vpn, this will force everything in your phone through the VPN, by blocking all data that is not going through VPN.
I've also used operah and vivaldi in the past, but I'm not sure how private it is. I know firefox got bought out by Jewrge Soros.
I suggest to anyone who is following this guide if you have google bloated phone, to buy a google pixel 3 (cheapest, like 100$) off of swappa (google edition) has to be google edition (NOT VERIZON) so you can unlock OEM, then you follow the web setup guide on Graphene OS website, takes like 10 minutes, to flash graphene os onto your phone which is an operating system devoid of google completely, then get the apps recommended on this page.
If you really want your phone to be secure don't use a sim at all or don't use a sim that is tied to your name, because all cell phones have two operating systems from what i understand, 1 where adroid runs, and 1 where the gsm/cmda network runs, and we are powerless against the sim based OS, thats where they can heavily spy on you as well. NSA was caught spying on people using this if im not mistaken. You can always Wireshark the data transitions and see for yourself, I'm not familiar with this but I know someone here probably is. I also might be wrong I'm pulling this from my memory and might have gotten something wrong. but in general if you want to use your phone for Zevism stuff probably get another phone that isn't tied to you at all, de google it, and follow this guide.
