Firefox + uBlock Origin. if you keep seeing the anti-adblock message there are certain filters you must input. I'm sure you can find it somewhere on the Internet. If it comes back then you simply refresh your filters.

Does this mean I can continue to peer to peer share 4k movies for 'AI purposes'

Well I ended up building my own house from scratch (in terms of this analogy). I don't use any DE at all haha

To be perfectly honest this is why I don't like Pixels. Every manufacturer has issues of course. I'm not saying Pixels are bad, just I wouldn't get them because of personal preference and the design. The Pixel 4s constantly had battery issues because of the quality of the material used for the battery connector. The Pixel 5s were actually pretty good in terms of hardware issues. The Pixel 6s were nightmares. Constantly having battery or screen issues. As for the 7s I can't say as I stopped repairing phones a year ago

If you're consistently having screen issues with your Pixel and it's not due to any accidental damage but straight out the box it could very well be a problem with the motherboard. Various ways to solve this like contacting Google and seeing if they'll do an in-warranty replacement device, or you could see if a Google authorized repair center will do a MOBO replacement. However the suggestion I commented elsewhere in this thread is the better 1st step to take

This could be a possible issue with your screen but it's most likely an issue with the Finger Print Sensor (FPS) Software. With Pixel 6 and up the FPS software works in conjunction with the LCD (Since it's on the screen). You should take it to an authorized Google repair center (for example a uBreakifix) and the issue will likely still be covered under the manufacturer's warranty(free of charge). There's a specific program that Google gives these repair centers to reinstall the FPS software on it each time they do an LCD swap. I'm sure that they would be willing to reinstall the software on your Pixel without going through the process of switching the LCD to see if it fixes your issue. Shouldn't take more than 20 mins but it could be longer if they're backed up on same-day repairs. Source: I had to do this a many times for the Pixel 6. And I vaguely remember a customer with a similar issue on the 6 pro.

P.S. Before doing this you could try a factory reset on your phone to see if it fixes the issue. Or start Android in safe mode to rule out any 3rd party software that could be causing the issue. (Though I doubt it, I have a feeling the issue will persist).

Honestly you can use Openbox right out the bag if you really wanted to. If you need to configuring autostart and hotkeys and the menu is really easy
