MRO, It must be the same problem I have with my car.
There is a Loose Nut behind the Steering Wheel.

Since getting this phone I've only added two apps to it
NoScript and The Online Bible.

I'm still a Amateur at using this Android phone.
I would be too if I selected an iPhone to use.
My only experience with a MacIntosh Computer was with the original and
learning to eject a 3.5 Floppy Disc It wanted me to send it to the Trash.
That was strange to my way of thinking.

Those two were the first things I asked the Store employee to put on the
Android phone when I was there to get a cellphone from them.

I know Android OS is a Google product but wanted NoScript to limit Google and
Amazon products to the Default setting when I visited a page.
Only Temporarily Allow those when the page REALLY need it to let me see or do
what the page is for.

dont know what you mean by default setting and temporarily allow. I think it's on your phone but doing nothing.

if you want full control over that google stuff you need to root your phone and make changes.

if you want a decent safe browser i suggest you get brave browser on your android phone.

Not heard of brave browser before .
It is NoScript that allows me to select Allow, Temporary Allow or leave sites
for pages as Default.

I guess You never used Firefox with the NoScript Add On as I have on my desktop
PC .

I will take a look at Brave browser and try it a bit.

The Default I wrote about is shown in a drop-down box I see on a site after
tapping the 3 vertical dots and tapping Extensions and then selecting the
NoScript option from the list of extensions.

While logged on right now, the list only has synchro.net .
I have the synchro.net site marked as Trusted, therefore NoScript lets
everything synchro.net sends me show up on this device.

Sites that use Amazons CloudFront or Googles Double click or any of Their other
(I call them Services) , I can leave any of them at NoScripts Default setting.
If the page needs some JavaScript option Turned On Instead of having NoScript
Save the Service I can tap Temp. Allow so NoScript will let what the Service
wants to send to me pass on through during this connection to the webpage until
I close my browser.

Then the next time the site is visited by me those services will not send all
they have to me because the new session won't retain the Temporary setting, the
Default setting will be in NoScripts list of Services.

I say Services because I don't know the proper term to call them.

Still Learning, that's why I use a BBS.

Sounds like it might be useful on my android box. I've been
using the YT app on it, but ofcourse that supports the ads.
Watching a movie or anything longer than 20-30 min is injected
with the commercial breaks.

Android box hooked up to a TV? For one,
NewPipe is a decent Youtube client that
blocks ads and such. It doesn't let you
log in, though, it keeps all your subs
and history to itself. Better yet,
though, there's also Kodi which has a
Youtube add-on. I use various browser
plugins to right-click YT links and
select "Send to Kodi" so I can watch
them on my TV.
Oh yeah, no ads there either.

I think F-Droid is a must these days :-P

i kind of wish they'd just bring back banner ads to websites. video ads are so annoying. i know youtube needs to get paid by showing ads but i don't want to sit through long ads.

Most of those have a "Skip" after a few seconds when they
start.

What concerns me is that the marketing industry is bubbling up and its burst will destroy many services people is used to.

Meanwhile use adblockers like everybody else, and let the sheep fund your services by watching ads.

yeah i do but these sites need the money to operate. I just wish there was something other than annoying ads to keep them afloat.

Yes, I get it and just about everything from F-Droid (fdroid.org).
They also have their own F-Droid repo you can put into the F-Droid app.
