I don't want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable

I want to be able to pull up an 80% version of a website on my phone, and have a button to open the full website on my computer for when I get home.

Firefox can do something like this with the "send tab to device", not sure it is what you want
