You guys are hating on Android, but the reality is that I will pick Android any day.
At least with Android I have the freedom to install custom OS versions, change the default browser, sideload apps and to be honest I find Apple's anti-consumer practices appalling, not to mention their very questionable legacy, etc.
On my Android I have changed the default browser to Firefox nightly and loaded the libredirect and I am enjoying a lot of sideloaded apps, including Newpipe and it is running beautifully. I personally find Android a lot more powerful and customizable.

You’re a computer enthusiast. Android phones are computers.
Not everyone needs to be a computer enthusiast. It’s ok that you are though. No shade.
