I believe uBlock will continue to work, just not as well.

yes. use any of the following, in no particular order:

  • ecosia.org - A non-profit certified B corp that plants trees by serving ads in your search results. Bing search underneath.
  • duckduckgo.com - A privacy friendly search engine. Primarily sourced from Bing but mixes in a few other sources.
  • any SearXNG instance - A self-hostable search front-end to various search engines.
  • marginalia.nu - specifically 'random' - An independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.

I want extensions

Sounds like you do care about the rendering engine as that would basically give you a true mobile Firefox experience and access to all the extensions.

This is pretty huge. NVIDIA has been the broadcom wireless chip of the modern era, causing unnecessary end-user pain and preventing every day users from migrating to Linux due to hardware that's semi-compatible that doesn't always work out of the box. I've been using AMD for their open source support for a while now, but this is a welcome change to enable others to switch - or at the very least test - a fully working Linux OS without having to fight to get things working.

To be fair Google was already making this information public via their transparency reports, albeit in aggregate, since 2010 [0].

"Google's transparency report, Ars confirmed, already documents requests for push notification data in aggregated data of all government requests for user information."

Apple conveniently played it safe until the coast was clear. Maybe they'd have been allowed to comment on this privacy issue if they published it in aggregate like Google - e.g. not specifically calling out the U.S. Govt? But that wasn't a risk Apple was willing to take for its users.

possibly because Telegram is as "private" as Facebook.

For those who may not know, bcachefs (bcachefs.org) was written by the same developer as bcache (wikipedia.org) - TIL! I was always confused when reading headlines about bcachefs but never looked into why someone might give their filesystem such a conflicting name. Now it makes sense. I've used bcache briefly and it worked really well for my use case. Anyone using bcachefs that can speak to their own experience? How does it compare to btrfs?

That's the sea bear [0] who can't cross the anti-sea-bear circle [1].

personally love the direction Signal is heading but would be happy to not have "all my eggs in one basket", as well as diversifying the open source E2EE communication options.

Briar works completely offline as well as online and has Android apps. I believe iOS apps are coming soon, although unsure of the timeline. https://briarproject.org

The pros are that there's zero setup or "self-hosting" required. Just install the app and it works. From their site:

  • Peer-to-peer encrypted messaging and forums
  • Messages are stored securely on your device, not in the cloud
  • Connect directly with nearby contacts - no Internet access required
  • Free and open source software
