My brain and wishful thinking. Then again Twitter can die in a fire.

If this is used for account verification and paid “verification” will be removed, then do not see any issue here.

So you say something like twitter is free to host child porn and they can just say “We did not post it, we just make it available”?

Quick tiles is one of the many reasons why I prefer Samsung One UI over stock/Pixel. One UI still uses the old style.

Checked the stickied post and it is full with links to various piracy sites. This is like when trackers use “We are not sharing files, just links” defense.

There have been quite a few questionable decisions by Mozilla though, they have focused on some very weird things, not to mention scandals about management salaries (No idea how it is now). I really really hope they will not follow suite which honestly is not as far fetched as one could think.

Why? It does everything a non-techie would expect from browser and it performs well, why switch to something else?

That said I think Chrome is a terrible Chromium based browser. Edge and Vivaldi in my opinion are much better options. Edge for most folk and Vivaldi for more adventurous types.

There is no way anything like this would ever go through. Google’s own lawyers would quickly put a stop at this. It is known that Google sometimes has used features that for Firefox is problematic at least for YouTube, but it eventually is resolved by changes in FF

This was also the best alternative I could find that seemed somewhat safe to use. Chromium browsers still are better at translate, but this seemed fine for my use case

Probably not, feel free to dig deeper if you wish.

Same here. I used NoScript in the past and remembering whitelisting way too often so dumped it in the end. Now I just use uBlock with I think some built-in javascript block of known bad hosts.

Problem is that someone will have to keep maintain it all. We will see how it will pan out in the end.

I am actually surprised Internet Archive has not had copyright problems in the past because I have ocasionally downloaded videos that are 1:1 contents from now dead/unseeded torrents.

There is 2 finger pull down option available right now with v13. No idea if it is default behavior or a setting since cannot find one.

As of now, Revanced manager recommends v 18.23.35.

ApkMirror is arguably the best source to download APKs. It checks that signature matches expected one so you know package is safe and not tampered with. You need to use no DPI version for Revanced, linked correct version above

I would suggest to also go through all patches manually, I remember recommended option had some very strange suggestions at least in the past.

For Google account to work you also need microG. This is a newer version / fork of original microG. inotia00 was one of the original Vanced devs I believe.

It will allow future developers to create even less optimized apps and not worry about how resources are used.
