    I have root on this phone I’m using to post. I’m also running LineageOS 21.

    The reason I do this is because this is my phone and I’ll be in control of it. Also I want to keep my phone running as long as possible. I’m still using a Pixel 2 XL.

    The only thing I want to root for anymore is adblocking. All the other shit that I used to add, they’re part of default android now. I’m just lazy and haven’t gotten around to rooting my current phone.
