I’m sorry, is it that weird of a feeling to want a company that pretty much has a single successful product to invest in it when it’s an important part of the internet and in constant usage decline?

A lot of people are saying they suffer the same and me and my friend have completely different devices with different Android flavours.

It doesn’t seem to be what you are saying.

Android 13. Looking in the other replies, it seems pretty wide spread.

If nobody cared, nobody would have replied in the first place.

Also, must be sad to decide to engage based on the karma farm you’ll get, but good for you I guess…?

You should stop using products for ethical reasons

Yes, that’s why I don’t use Firefox. I don’t like companies that give their CEOs the entirety of goodwill donations and use the vast majority of the rest of the money they make on companies with empty descriptions to give speeches and whatever instead of really investing in their technology to stop having stupid bugs and maybe even be better enough than Chrome to give normies a reason to use it.

1. Don’t use Brave rewards, so don’t care.

2. See 1.

3. So like any for-profit company? Bad, but don’t care.

4. It’s very brain dead to call the VPN service spyware. Besides, you’re on Windows, you have a lot more spyware to worry about first.

5. Yeah, don’t care. If we go examining every company by if their leaders are morally good or not, we are gonna come very empty.

But do you know what I care about? A browser that actually fucking works on mobile and doesn’t crash every other time I open it up.

Yep, I have it on my Poco F5 with MIUI and a friend that has a Galaxy S23 with stock OS also has the same issue.

Idk what that guys is complaining about. I’m running Brave with also uBlock Origin (for the ads the native blocker doesn’t detect) and right now on Youtube the native ad blocker catches everything and runs just fine.

Sure, they just need to fix their annoying bugs on Android.

Everytime I leave a tab open and switch to another app, it’s a 50/50 whether I return to a black screen and am forced to restart it or it just works fine.

I’m using right now a Poco F5 with a 7+ gen 2 and, besides gpu intensive stuff (playing Genshin Impact on lowest settings doesn’t always give 60fps), I can’t tell the difference from more powerful phones.

I believe the reason they do this is because some resellers were unlocking the bootloader and installing a ROM with malware and selling that off to unsuspecting customers. This delay (and needing to be registered with a phone number) makes that process both impractical and easy to detect.

This is true, but also really stupid. The resellers that insert malicious roms into their phones always manage to get a privileged account from someone at Xiaomi that allows for instant bootloader unlock, so only legit customers get screwed by this.

It’s a bit shitty, but it still works. You need to link your Xiaomi account with Mi Unlocker in the dev settings and then wait from 3 days to 1 month.

But since I do that when I first get the phone, by the time I want to install a custom rom, it’s ready.

I was under the impression that was only for the Xiaomi.EU rom.

I’m not really into photographing, so I’m not into that a lot.

For regular photos without gcam, you can check the ones in the article.

I bought this phone and have no regrets.

The only thing lacking a bit for me is the software, but I’m just waiting for an official custom recovery and I’ll install a pixel-like rom.

When I first tried to install Arch, I gave up when I got confused with the documentation for an encrypted install.

But since I’ve discovered archinstall, it’s a dream to do and arguably faster to install than other distros.

Never said they didn’t, but Firefox does as well and the duality of criteria is astonishing.

Urr durr Brave bad Firefox perfect and always good.

Google uses Signal protocol to handle E2E for RCS communication:

Google SAYS they use the Signal protocol.

Without open-source applications, you have to trust these companies to do the right thing when they can track you and make money from it in every single step of the way. Same goes for Meta with Whatsapp.

In that case, couldn’t you just edit out the doxxing part?
