Linux Phone using Desktop Firefox and Minecraft Server
Let’s go over setting up Firefox with AdBlock on our Linux phone. As a bonus, we are going to set up another Desktop app to make our phone a Minecraft server.

I get it,,,,,,,, but you lost me when you started playing a game. I'm guessing I'm not the only adult in the room.
Thanks for video, been looking at these also for upgrade/swap off android
You can use Iceraven on Android, it's a pretty good FF fork.
you just did everything you can do on android. how is windows and android locked systems what do you mean by that I have used Linux windows and android and they do the same thing. that phone just looked like android with out a app store
I'd like nothing more than a updated version of the Pine phone video you made with the 3gb model and how well it works in late 2021 with all the OS and app updates.

Anything that helps put the "in your face" to big brother , if thats what it achieves
Time for an update to this video.
What happened to weekly?
Can you install Firefox.apk for faster browsing?
I've got the ubports version on the way to try all these out.
I can't wait for the first stable OS for Pinephone.
Change browser agent to a mobile one
Install tor browser in your pine
Try using the pine phone with the NexDock 2?
I watched this without adblock, i enjoy some of them good to learn about marketing, enjoy the small % you get bro
So, if it's like a desktop, and the phone has a USB C, does that mean that you can use a USB C keyboard with it?? That's not something you can do with phone nowadays, not even tablets. Maybe you can even use a keyboard via bluetooth? That would be awesome.
Wait, did you say "Google search," like it was the only game in town? Turn in your tinfoil hat immediately! What do you have against Duckduckgo?
Would it be possible to "hack" an(y) Android phone and install some sort of LinuxOS on it?
Actually, Minecraft server could also run on Android using termux. It's very cool.
Get firefox mobile with ublock origin, dude!
firefox as a desktop version doesn't look like a good experience. would be cool if by default it could somehow pretend to be a mobile version
Have you looked at the FairPhone 3?
Just to let you know, this is horrible experience.
Hey Chris, how does this work when you connect a USB c dock to it and run it like a desktop? It's be amazing if they come out with a flagship phone when it's all said and done and it can work like a go anywhere Linux machine.
Test Google Fi service if possible. I'd assume I'd be the most "open" carrier and is simless. I could be completely wrong tho.
Chris, Android FF also has these extensions. So that's not exactly something unique to a Linux phone😜
The future ? Oh man, you mean the past, that phone remember me Android 2.1.0….
Try TMobile
I don't understand the difference between this pine phone and a classical android phone whose os have been change to linux…
Thanks, Chris. My existing Android phone is still working fine, but when it finally goes, the Pinephone or similar will be a real contender as a replacement. Hopefully by then it will be a bit more beyond the developer model and closer to being ready for prime time. 🙂 As far as ad-blocking is concerned, these days it seems to take a multi-pronged approach. Too many sites have gotten wise to the adblockers that run in the browser and ask you to whitelist their page. What to do? At home, at least, all my network has to route DNS through a virtual machine that's running Pi hole. So the ads can run, as far as the browser is concerned, they just can't "phone home" to load the content. Works seamlessly on both the wired and wireless versions. After all, with a system running 96 GB of RAM, I have to do something with all that! So the VM runs in RAM, with plenty left over. Reduces overall traffic on the network, too.
…but you can already install adblock extensions on Firefox android? I use uBlock on my phone's Firefox.
Firefox extensions work on phone.
I don't like being tracked. Ads as long as they aren't abusive, and in my face I don't mind. I use Privacy Badger and have find tuned it (work in progress) for this very reason. Just block the naughty ones. 😊
How well do Qt Quick apps work on this hardware? Its would be cool to have some dedicated Linux mobile apps developed on it. Qt is crazy powerful, you can build all the OS interface on it (Tesla did for their car). I think we need to approach this as if it were an embedded device project and develop the interface and apps from scratch rather than port the desktop apps. Leave the desktop apps for when you are docked.
Firefox is a bad example. I can install ublock origin and other add-ons on Firefox on Android.
Bom vÃdeo. 🙂
mini-minecraft server, nice
So ive got a question, shouldn't I be able to wipe my android and load up debian mobile?
Hi Chris try GDLauncher Minecraft launcher, you will like it, its FOSS btw
