What matters to me is what tools the browser lets me use to complement it and harden it to my liking.

Chromium does not offer that. But if I’m going to use Chromium, it would be Brave browser, since it provides tools comparable to what I use in Firefox.

To me, how is a browser going to be attacked if the scripts the attacker would use are already blocked by my toolset? (Rhetorical)

I’ll be sure to let you kn

In case you didn’t realize, this whole post and thread are just a joke. Try not to take yourself too serious.

But if you must know, I’m currently on Pixel 8, and most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.

Android users won’t be able to reply.

Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.

Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.

Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.

And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.

I wish there was a way to keep Grapheneos installed and locked down without root, but with a way to adjust screen color. The only way I can tolerate pixel screen color reproduction is to root it and use an app to adjust it.

Ooooh that. Yeah I get that with android auto.

I’ve recently turned off all apps (including google) permission to draw over other apps and that seems to have stopped it for me, on Pixel 8.

Been using smart launcher for a while. I like that the pro version offers blur.

Article mentions 3rd party launcher gesture issues, but I’ve never seen this problem. I used to use Nova but switched to Smart launcher for the blur, but at no time have gestures been an issue. Any ideas what they mean?

And jump to the clone? Mozilla isn’t better (consider their recent Ad Privacy clone), they just have less market share.

That said, I use Firefox and Brave. Whatever I feel like at the time.

Brave has added a feature to explicitly enable MV2 apps and install uBo directly from Brave settings. You can also install uMatrix and Adguard MV2 versions also.

Yeah Heliboard with the swipelib is closest to gboard for me, better than Futo, however, Futo has a voice typing app also that is incredibly accurate, and punctuates near perfectly. So I use Heliboard with Futo Voice Typing.

It’s probably Google sharing that information with Amazon. Amazon isn’t actively spying on Google searches. I could be wrong though, but that is what Google “Ad Privacy” spyware is really about. To let Google share your interests with other companies.

Um, if you’re security minded, you’re already staying far away from Authy, so I’m not really sure what the article’s focus is.

That said, I’m using 2fa all day long on Grapheneos. No issue. And prior to Grapheneos, I ran rooted and had been using Authy with no issue, so this kind of sounds like an advertisement piece for Authy.

I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.

Are you using Grapheneos or another ROM?

They made it where you could sandbox all of the Google stuff, and Android Auto works fine too.
