Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 7b1a1656f7 Back up what adb can actually reach, and block YouTube in Firefox too
phone_backup.sh captures package lists (including what was purged for
user 0), every third-party APK with its splits, /sdcard, all three
settings namespaces, and the focus-mode state. Verified: 54/54 packages,
126 APK files, 5.1 GB, splits intact.

It is deliberately not sold as a full-device backup, because on an
unrooted phone it cannot be one: /data/data is unreachable, so logins,
in-app data and device pairings do not survive. It writes a
RESTORE-BY-HAND.md naming each of those, with a restore order that avoids
a lockout -- mObywatel last, because activating it on a new device
deactivates the old one.

The first two runs pulled 1 of 54 APKs and then 6 of 54: `while read <
file` with adb inside the loop lets adb drain the same stdin. Reading
into an array first fixes it, and verify_backup now compares package
count against the manifest rather than only checking that the files it
did pull are valid zips -- integrity alone called the 1-of-54 run a pass.

Also documents the uBlock Origin filters, which block YouTube in Firefox
independently of RethinkDNS: force-stopping the VPN still leaves
youtube.com blocked by ||youtube.com^. And records what this is worth --
Play offers a one-tap Install for YouTube, the VPN is a few taps from
off, and the uBlock page has a Proceed button. Three independent layers,
none of them tamper-proof; only Device Owner removes the off switch.
