Bazzite + Lutris works really well

You can also play around with things like ProtonGE-custom, there's a very useful tool called ProtonUp-Qt that helps you install it, among with other useful stuff

Some people also reported that running (pirated, Windows-exclusive) games in the Heroic launcher works pretty well

It's not constructive criticism, I never claimed that it was. It's just my personal opinion. I find paying for a social media site ridiculous. Donating to a Lemmy/Mastodon/(insert any Fediverse service) instance is absolutely fine, donating to FLOSS software projects or open data projects is totally fine, but paying a monthly fee for some random feature just feels weird to me. And the fact that Elon Musk popularized it, makes it even more ridiculous for me.

A subscription for a social media site. The 21th century is ridiculous. And the fact that Twitter (under Elon the scumbag Musk) introduced it first, and they're presenting themselves as a Twitter alternative, makes it much worse. No thanks, I'm definitely staying on the fediverse.

I'm just waiting for Bluesky to introduce ads.

No, but I think ArchiveBox would be a much better place to implement this

but pixels are such a bottom tier phone for their price in a lot of places

Not sure what you mean, you can get a used Pixel 6a for 120 EUR, which will continue to get updates for another 2.5 years. Show me another phone with such a great value proposition. There's a website that calculates how much each Pixel would cost you monthly (it's basically just price divided by update lifetime): https://pixel-pricing.netlify.app/

There are some really good deals, and I'd rather pay a little more for a phone that can actually be used privately, instead of buying some cheap Chinese, spyware-infested garbage that will fall apart after 2 years, and never gets any security updates.

There's a crucial difference:

Firefox is open source, Opera isn't.

LibreWolf is great btw, if you're to lazy to manually harden Firefox. It also comes with uBlock Origin pre-installed. Also check out their community: !librewolf@lemmy.ml

But thankfully Manifest V3 is only relevant to Chromium browsers, and there are other options. The proposed web environment integrity API would be much worse, as they could simply blacklist any browsers they don't like, and deny them access to the most popular websites.

Time to switch to ~~uBlock Lite or~~ another ~~ad blocker~~ browser. Firefox fully supports ad blockers like uBlock Origin. LibreWolf removes all the Mozilla nonsense like Pocket, their new advertising crap, sponsored sites, etc. and comes with uBO preinstalled. There's also an official Lemmy community for it: !librewolf@lemmy.ml
