These are my own observations. Of course, I can put up with these shortcomings, but why should I if I can just use Firefox? It is the only non-Chromium browser that is more flexible thanks to css support.

Brave Browser Caught Redirecting Users Through Affiliate Links Also, I found Brave to be bloated with crypto/AI features. That being said, I see no reason to use it instead of Firefox.

Linux users in Afghanistan:

Using the Internet without an adblocker sucks. This is many times worse than a theoretical attack on the browser.

Can’t yt-dlp download high bitrate videos? I think I saw this option in the list of formats.

Google Pay is the most underrated product in terms of privacy. Just think, you’re disclosing your financial status and consumer habits to the world’s largest advertising company.

For some reason, I thought Ubuntu touch was EOL. Probably because I tried it on a Redmi 5 and it was an unofficial 2018 build. Is the Morph browser still supported? I checked the Github page and the last changes were 3 years ago.

Enshitification in action. During 2024, Telegram declared war on rooted Android alongside WhatsApp and Viber. This means you can’t log in to your account if you have root access or if you don’t have Google services.

“Just Google it,” they said. So, you Google it. You find one result. It’s a forum post. From you.

4ka? I saw 15€ price for this plan on their website.

Some time ago, I tried Ubuntu for the first time. I was shocked that the preinstalled Firefox (snap package) took 10 seconds to launch, compared to 1-2 seconds on Windows.

I am copying every single url from browser and paste it to Celluloid. That’s how I watch youtube on PC.

Maybe a reason not to use Snapchat?

It’s only 104 MB/s. Not enough for RAW video.

My RPi4 refused to start with a 2x2.5" hard drive, so I did some workarounds. I connected the USB 3.0 +5V pin to the GPIO and powered the RPi using a PD trigger with MINI 560 (5A DC-DC converter). In my case, a random 18W QC brick was enough.
