there was no comparison between the cost of hosting. it was simply used as a baseline relative to market norms. your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd

yes, if you enable resist fingerprinting on any Firefox build it will cap refresh rate to 60hz. Mull is not doing anything special, it’s just changing about:config options by default.

you can disable resist fingerprinting in mull and regain standard refresh rate (although you lose fingerprinting protection) just as you can enable resistFingerprinting in Firefox beta or nightly and see refresh rate cap at 60.

I wholly agree with you there, I’m just saying it’s the same behavior on all browsers built on Firefox. true for desktop as well

it’s worth noting that this is the intended behaviour for privacy.resistFingerprinting. this is not exclusive to Mull.

I love when people post well known and obvious information. if you hadn’t realized metadata is present then idk what to tell you.

while, yes, regardless of your privacy settings google still collects a sickening amount of data on you, much of these things (like voice recordings and location history) can be managed and disabled in the settings. if you wish to go further, grapheneos removes A LOT of tracking potential.

these should be opt in features, but one can opt out of much of them.

check Nix instead.

nextdns is the most performant option I’ve used. it often beats our cloudflare even. adguard wasn’t bad but it was a bit more cumbersome and very slow.

I don’t like recommending self hosting as opening ports on a private network isn’t a great idea. you could use something like cloudflare or tailscale to bridge access but you’ll run into issues with network speeds.

good. this is the only reason I’ve recommended people avoid fdroid. would be useful to fix that

yeah like other people have rec’d, I just wrote a script for installing/removing/upgrading/searching all the package managers I have. this was used as a tongue in cheek jab and has never truly been a brag.
