I started using a pi-hole[1] recently, and I'll be honest, it feels like a
discount uBlock Origin without needing the extension. And I'm perfectly okay
with this concept. The fewer extensions I need to rely on, the snappier my
actual browser is. Plus, it keeps even more things from trying to load in lynx,
which makes *that* faster as well.

Recently, I kinda got into it with someone after they did nothing but attack me
for using an iOS device. I pretty much told them that, if it weren't for 1) my
banking and second-factor authetication needs, 2) my dislike of Android after
*years* of fighting with it, and 3) the loss of Firefox OS, I wouldn't need to
use iOS. Their response was "What about Ubuntu Touch?"

After looking at the supported devices list[2]... I might consider it, if I can
get the money to buy a Nexus 4 or Nexus 5. Those two seem to be the only
handsets without problems.

Admittedly, I'd rather just go back to my LG Fx0[3], but given the marketplace
is gone, and Firefox OS was abandoned by Mozilla, it's hard to justify it
completely. Well, unless I started patching it myself or something.
