As Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in the future. They’re going to eventually ban adblockers for chromium. We need to quickly respond with alternatives to android, we must end this market consolidation.

Just curious, but does Waydroid open the full OS environment like it does on desktop or does it just open apps in a container?

It opens a full containerized android session.

Does it suspend the Linux UI? Seems like unnecessary overhead to be running two DEs/launchers

No, you can still access ubuntu touch programs/ui. So far it seems to run fine for me with my usage. ymmv
