    I searched for, downloaded, and installed the Poison My Well app, and the thing forced itself into my well!

    Both Google on Android and Microsoft on windows - They make changes and lock apps out of defaults. Install random programmes, bring up pop ups etc.

    These types of issues are why i’m now dailying Mint and GrapheneOS.
