Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

Firefox's stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech "journalist" take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to "track" users which is blocked.

Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn't do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as "privacy friendly" and see how soon its usage stats drop.

This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.

This looks neat. It'll be sweat it it could get

  • tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
  • Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
  • lock desktop mode

Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).

Best of both worlds.

Wow, Linaro. that's a name I haven't heard in a while. They were the ones to optimize Android builds during the IceCreamSandwich days and just last day I was wondering if there were any third party optimization project still out there. All the best to them.

Thanks for making this but some screenshots or a walkthough would be nice. Also any plans to publish it on f-droid?

But the N100 running at full pelt will be running way more intensive applications than Pi 5. In everyday scenario, that means you can run more applications comfortably without going "full pelt". AFAIK

Man, that sad, defeated face in the wolf. The title made me think it was just torture and I assumed he got saved. But the fucker killed it. He deserves every shit he gets.

seems like the profanity filter messed up the link.

The "marketing from companies that make extremely bold claims" is also pretty universal. It is not exclusive to any region.

Anyone else felt like those inflammatory posts against tiktok weren't natural? Turns out it was true.

Asking if other lemmy.ml users are facing similar issues? it seems domains registered on freenom (.ml/.tk) are not being resolved with Google DNS. It works fine on other DNS (Cloudflare/Quad9/etc)
