phone nosurf tips
Stuff I've done to make my phone as unattractive as possible. Most of these are Android-specific.
General settings
- enable grayscale
- force low refresh rate
- sound off for everything except calls
- can be done with 'do not disturb' mode
- disable all animations
- window animation scale: off
- transition animation scale: off
- animator duration scale: off
- disable pop-up notifications
Apps
- minimal launcher, like olauncher
- delete youtube app and install newpipe
- settings → content → content of main page → delete everything
- now you have blank main page, but you can still use search
- delete all social media & other attention-thieving apps
- disable all unnecessary notifications
- when you receive spam notification, click & hold → disable notifications of that category
- spotify: download all your playlists so you can be offline
Browser
- Firefox Focus, doesn't have browsing history or anything which makes using it tedious
- Block unwanted websited with custom DNS
