I hope they fix the haptic issues on the pixel 6A whenever connectivity is low
I hope it gets a US release
Roblox has been trying to move away from being a game for kids, and more towards all ages.
Specifically, by verifying with their third party service and your ID (kind of creepy, but probably the only real way to still remain coppa compliant), you can access more mature experiences and use voice chat. And they’re predicting that online daters will proceed to evolve into getting actual real life relationships.
I personally don’t use Firefox as anything except a spare whenever a page doesn’t load right in Vivaldi. Not only because I strongly dislike the way Mozilla itself is run (I’m not even going to get into their financial records) but also because of it’s glacial development speed. Mozilla does pave the road in some ways with stuff like mobile extensions and an unprecedented amount privacy features. But it still takes them forever to do some of the most basic stuff. Still no native PWA’s, Passkeys are still under development. It mildly feels understandable why people don’t feel like testing with Firefox as much as they used to.
Even cutting Google’s monopoly over the internet out of the equation, Firefox still doesn’t feel that good. Sure, it might be the fastest browser on the market at the moment. But for a company being paid 450k for a search engine deal by the very thing that Firefox users hate, what gives with the amount of ads engrained in search and bookmarks, the occasional popups for Mozilla VPN/ FF Relay. And yes, I know you can turn them off, but it’s ridiculous that a FOSS product even has them to begin with. Also how difficult it feels to be involved in the development of all Firefox products over on Mozilla Connect + Bugzilla + GitHub.
I have nothing against gecko based browsers, but until I see something truly stunning, I don’t really want to bother. I know Librewolf exists and solves some of the problems with modern Firefox (also being even more hardened than Firefox), but given Librewolf is also a hobby project that deliberately doesn’t accept donations nor even provide an auto update mechanism on macOS (the main system I use, in combination with my pixel devices), the bus factor is too strong for me to consider.
I really think that on the list of worst single points of failure, DNS is not one of them. Given how easy it is to actually switch. And given that cloudflare outages are not nearly as common, The times they do happen usually are only for half an hour or so.
Please just put the 30 million into improving the browser. Not all this dumb stuff
I would definitely get a Chromebook, but only once you can change the default browser from Chrome without needing to do any weird workarounds like Android apps
I literally just want better support for extensions again
My main gripe with it is that it seems to be just another React Native app just like the main app. So it doesn’t really seem that much better.
