Surprisingly Firefox is at 6 percent. I expected it to hover around the 3 percent mark.

They will take it seriously if their personal information becomes visible.

I can but the issue is that I won’t be using it. My current phone will be better than a used phone bought.

I don’t mind giving graphene a try but I’ll be honest, I have the following issues:

• Need to buy a pixel phone for this.
• I use a memory card so pixel phones might not be an option.
• fear of bricking a phone that I just got.

Tuner. A great app to use.

You should be storing your 2fa seeds somewhere just in case an update isn’t able to import a backup. Makes it easy to shift to another app.

I see two options here really. Either get a pixel phone and install Graphene on it (this allows you to run play services in a sandbox), or get any phone that supports lineage and install everything there and avoid Google.

It depends on whether you need Google services or not. Pixel phones support both operating systems.

My guess that they might only integrate WhatsApp and maybe instagram chat with their messenger. Makes sense that they will focus first on their apps.

It’s pretty much a place where everyone pats themselves on the back.

Only issue with LinkedIn is the prospect of finding jobs. I got my last job through LinkedIn actually.

Antennapod hands down.

Works great and have been using it for years.

For firefox, just stick with UBO. Should be sufficient.

Finally, been ages.

A number is still needed to register I believe.

This.

Unfortunately it’s android only I think.

Use Signal and if you both are happy with it, dump that garbage app 😂

I would say go with either chromite or firefox. Both are private, supported for now, and can block ads (UBO on firefox)

Would you be able to let us know the services you used, the replacements, and how did the migration process work?

It’s a good start for a Revanced alternative.

We have Newpipe and Libretube for complete local video management but it’s nice to have an additional one to Revanced. Whether it picks up and becomes big that remains to be seen.

I actually use Brave and have been for few years. Used Firefox back when it was version 2 and switched to Brave as it’s performance was better compared to Firefox.

Reading the above now, you have shed a lot of light on things I didn’t know about Brave. I know I can disable a lot of stuff on it (news, rewards, VPN, chat). But the list of bloat has been increasing.

Your post is an eye opener. I will be looking for a way to switch to Firefox. Unfortunately I work for an organisation that doesn’t give us the option of installing our browser. Forced to use MS Edge for now lol.
