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.

Just ran through that list of bugs and don't see my issue that happens all the time. I guess I'll have to add a ticket.

My bug is when minimizing and restoring windows (fedora plasma 6 latest version), the first time or two it is smooth, but a few more times and it gets really jerky. It acts like a memory leak somewhere.

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.

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.

That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won't use that. Or am I missing something on their website?

I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.

To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.

If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.

Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google's Malware version.

So they get to keep their Ad Privacy malware and cookies. Sounds like that was their endgame.
