@kaia missing the advertisements? Did you install a system adblocker or did he have a fuck ton of malware on his phone?

@kaia My mom is notoriously bad at bookmarking things she wants to buy. Instead she would go to her webmail page and wait for the thing she remembered to scroll past in banners. (Which somehow kept working with uncanny consistency.)I now took away the banners and set up a history profile I can look through, if she needs to find something.Find what service the ads provided for him and seek an alternative. Even if it's just him scrolling through the amazon feed for the suggestions. Playing Candy Crush for the flashy animations, or using a history/bookmark manager to find that thing he saw last week.The ads fulfill a need to them.

@Nicro heh, makes sense. I tried getting him on a RSS reader, but he did not like it.

@kaia@brotka.st @Nicro@fedi.absturztau.beYou can always restore the stock ROM, but I'd definitely try some alternatives first — because what I think what he actually misses is the recommendations that used to work and indeed be something of interest, nowadays they most often lure you into things you never wanted in the first place 🤷

@kaia most effective and fastest way is, you bring his favo food and then explain him such phone is best for him.
