This always gets downvoted, because it's a painful truth, but Chromium on Android is significantly more secure than Firefox.

There is a reason why the default included browser on GrapheneOS, Vanadium, is a Chromium fork.

So I'm sorry, until Firefox on Android catches up to Chromium, another Firefox fork isn't going to make the impact on the ecosystem that you think it is.

I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't use Firefox forks on Android, I'm saying do so being aware of their limitations relative to Chromium forks, such as Cromite, or Mulch, the latter being the same dev as Mull. That same dev also has a lengthy write-up going over the technical details of why Chromium is more secure than Firefox on Android.

This has nothing to do with desktop browser engines, this is specifically and exclusively in regards to Android browsers

For all his faults, Prigozhin had a better grasp on reality, and more brains, then Kadyrov has ever possessed. And Colonel General Caterer was an idiot.

The point is, as funny as the Hot Dog Mutiny was, a TikTok Insurrection would both be significantly shorter lived, and exponentially more hilarious.

I use both of them everyday. I'm using one of them right now.

Haven't had that issue.

You're on Android use NewPipe and it's forks, personally I prefer Tubular and PipePipe.

Periodically YouTube will break, but both of those forks, as well as new pipe prime, update fairly quickly.

GrayJay is interesting... It has different feel and feature set than newpipe, but it's worth using. I will say I get more login errors with GrayJay, but closing the app and reopening it resolves them immediately.

All the piped apps will be in f-droid/droidify, you can download GrayJay directly, or just scan the QR to add the repo to a FOSS repo manager.

I believe Tails already supports I2P, you just have to enable it in the terminal and reboot.

I don't know who this developer is, maybe they are well-known and well regarded.

I just know that for an OS, better to be safe than sorry and go with and established and well respected project such as Tails IMO.

Not trying discourage users from trying it, just that they should be mindful of the risks and adjust their behavior accordingly.

I don't use Matrix or Discords, but I'll expand slightly on my comment:

BAN THE CREDIBLES. SHAME THE LESSCREDIBLES.

I think you mean classical NCD.

Lemmites keep bringing lesscredible and credible thoughts and actions to this community, severely damaging its noncredibility. Crying shame it is.

My clearly noncredible comment, even got them to downvote a Lazerpig video...dafuq?

Unless there's a way to secure public funding for them, this seems like a reasonable middle road.

Like Patreon, which while having its own unique set of problems, enables a paid content distribution ecosystem for independent creators unlike anything else available.

So, absent inserting invasive advertising, and lacking public funds, I can't see how else they're supposed to maintain infrastructure and development costs.

That video contradicts it's entire thesis and disproves his own title.

He claims it sucks, and that he can prove it with math, yet he documents it's unparalleled success at killing friendly forces.

So tell me, how can it both be the best in the world, and suck at the same time.

You're missing the standard issue binoculars, which is pretty mission critical kit. Because without the binoculars, they can't see the friendly forces they're aiming their strafing run at.
