Hello "use Firefox" entities. If anyone would have fun expanding upon the suggestion, my phone came with like 20 google apps and I would prefer to have 0. I'm doubt that is 100% possible because there are very few default programs. Example: no default calender or photo app--just google calendar and google photo. But good lord there are too many of them

Is there a "use Firefox" suggestion for email/calendar/map/file viewer/anything?

#i almost got a plain flip phone to avoid Advertisements but the cheapest was like....$100.... so i got a $200 smartphone and its #moderately adequate. i am still figuring out how to answer calls. you swipe to do it but if you dont swipe with a specific velocity it just #wiggles things around. im not sure how im supposed to lock my phone bc the lock button is also the “reads your fingerprint and unlocks your #phone“ button. so ill lock it and then it immediately registers my finger (which i need to use to press the button to lock it???) and then #it unlocks.#humans are not designed for this. we are crafty and clever and cunning but this is beyond my established skill #i miss my first “phone.” everything customizable. app. font. brightness. scheduled volume changes to silence my phone #during school hours. keybind any key to anything. double-press volume-down to pause audio without looking #i had a “swipe down menu” before they were default :3 i picked exactly which options i wanted in it. i remember my first #real phone had the swipe down menu. i was kinda mad because i knew the original designers and programmers hadnt been #compensated. it was open software. but its different when apple uses the programming in hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products.#gah and then they took SOME of the ideas and locked them behind subscriptions 🙄 like when youtube decided that you #had to pay for Youtube Plus or it pauses media if you turn off the screen. why does this app even know if my phone is locked or unlocked?#its annoying... i stay very far away from any work-arounds that could have consequences. so im stuck hopping #from newly-found method to the next. they vanish as soon as the wrong person discovers it and someone codes it out of existence #i love my little mp3player. no wifi. no bluetooth. no google. the few features it has require non-intuitive button pressing.#but....no ads. just music. purchased music! no subscription. it has a headphone jack. fits in my palm. the exterior isnt glass lol.#wow sorry i am raaaambling. oh well. its my post lol.#sorenhoots
