Can you elaborate more about this “harmless history stealing” bit and how did you find it? Also, was the OS outdated in your case?
Like a sane person I use a system wide adblocker (Adguard) and unlock-origin in firefox. I also disable 3rd party iframes by default to reduce the crap being loaded by default on all my devices.
A few hours give or take. Usually I read some threads or browse technology news in !technology@beehaw.org Sometimes, also share some news related to the android world in a Lemmy community like !android@lemdro.id
Stupidity at its finest. The whole point of cheap 3rd party apple accessories is to use workarounds to get past apple DRMs and use them without paying the apple tax.
Blame apple foremost for creating such a market in the 1st place. You don’t need such workarounds in other phones because they just work.
Smart launcher has the option for google feed. Check here: https://www.smartlauncher.net/bridge
The paid app is the unlocker. It does not do anything by itself. You can check the features on the website or see the play store description.
I only know of hermit and native alpha. 1st time hearing about this. Compared to hermit appears to be only 2 years old vs 10 years for hermit.
There are lots of mention of Native Alpha and hermit in the description. Very strange I never found this option in the 2 years it existed on the play store. Being based on firefox sounds neat. Good for everyone who wants their user agent to be firefox everyone even in lite apps.
Would give it a shot and see what it holds. But, I don’t see myself switching from hermit.
Not to my knowledge. But, you can use one of the vivid color profiles to partially replicate it. The boosted colours should help with outdoor visibility.
Yeah, project mainline to reduce the impact of full system upgrades.

The newer Sony phones have improved software support of 3 OS & 4 years of security updates.
They are automatic.
Niagara launcher, kiss or kvaesto are the way to go. If you want a decent app search. I would also recommend Smart Launcher 6; the search bar is pretty good. Not to mention the automatic app categories you get for all your apps.
In colorOS smartphones. The default launcher shows ads when you use their search function. Fortunately, this special search can be disabled.
Yeah, this would be the main. There was a time when VLC had blacklisted huawei phones from installing their app on the Playstore when they had enough with the negative reviews.

No, the whole point of Gemini is Google integration. Use chatgpt or Bing AI if you want something similar not tied to Google.
Fuck advon.
No
Edit: I replied after a week because I received a notification about your reply now. I’m guessing some federation issue for delayed notifications and comments/replies.
If you have the play store installed. Don’t bother. Ignore it. GMS are a critical part of android. If something breaks you may experience higher crash rates. They are updated automatically. So, manually updating is not required.
Hmm, I thought modern day browsers had protection against redirect and history poisoning attacks. Guess not in all.
