"No apps except a modern browser (Firefox 80+, iOS/iPadOS 13+) are required on your tablet"

So no. My old samsung galaxy note 10.1 would be perfect for this, too, but I cannot upgrade its browser anymore since years ..

What about installing fennec from f-droid? Doesn't work?

Just install a custom rom from some random XDA post, it will be just as secure as running an ancient OS

Not all devices have an unlockable bootloader, unfortunately. Lots of unnecessary e-waste due to this. Amazon's tablets are one of the worst offenders.

Hm, I could give it a try again, but I think it did not work last time I tried (some years ago).
