The article also quotes

to "cheat" the system

As if people working two jobs are stealing and not working in exchange for proper value of money.

What kind of illogical comment is that? First, you bring in Microsoft to a discussion it is not a part of; second, just because Microsoft does it wrong, it doesn't give Apple a license to do things the convoluted way too.

Whilst I am sure the article might be low quality ultimately, I still wish to see what other options they are advocating. This is clearly just a screenshot and only the first option for blocking ads.

Shame because the new UI is objectively shit. Autoplaying videos, less dense UI and worst of all, RES works best with old UI. I didn't need to touch my mouse to navigate Reddit all these years thanks to RES. Now, thanks to Spez, he has broken something that didn't need to be fixed.

I know this site is dedicated to Samsung phones but the title could be framed better. Chrome isn't just being stopped updating for older Galaxy phones, it is being dropped for all pre Oreo Android devices, so it has a much wider reach than just Samsung.

Also, why does Opera require Android 12 as a minimum system requirement? I haven't used it on mobile but boy, they really cut off a lot of older android users.

I was alive when Allende was overthrown by Pinochet in Chile in 9/11 coup! Wait, we are talking about the US 9/11?

Microsoft didn't even provide a proper upgrade path for it's users. WP7 couldn't go to 8 and same for Windows Mobile 10.

I have set a primary password on my browser. Due to which, whenever I open my browser, the first thing it does is ask for primary password. I wish this to happen only when I am accessing the passwords or when a site is autofilling it[ thus, necessitating the unlocking of the vault].

Is there a way to disable it at the browser start? I went through an old StackOverflow thread but no solution there. There used to be an extension called MasterPassword that solved this but the link seems to be broken now.

I follow Ghacks, a tech site, as well and boy there is a Brave shill on there who attacks everyone there for daring to say anything against it. He knows stuff, judging from his comments, yet is so anti Mozilla and pro Brave that I can't understand. Almost thinks anyone not using Brave is inferior.

I like Firefox because it allows, Atleast for now, customization via userchrome.css files. I once tried Edge and hated it's bloated right click context menu. Meanwhile, in Firefox, I can trim down the context menu to only basic elements.

I do wish Firefox had proper PWA support, but otherwise I have been using it as the main browser on both PC and phone(since uBlock Origin is supported on it, the only Chromium browser to support it is Kiwi Browser on Android).

I am sorry, but is pointing out data inconsistencies makes you a BJP supporter automatically? Also, the pejorative you used is used for nationalistic Indian supporters who usually, tend NOT to say anything positive about China. I don't fit your criterion.

Is this data old? India's life expectancy is now 70+ according to World Bank. Eithercase, I am impressed by China. They had a life expectancy of ~36 years in 1949 when PRC was established. They lagged behind both India and Pakistan for quite some time(cough Mao cough) but then took such a steep climb upwards.

You see so many people asking for smaller phones in the forums and places you frequent.

They do not necessarily represent the views of the common public. I personally could do with a slightly smaller phone because the compact size allows for easier holding with single hands. But, sadly, I have not seen folks around me deciding which phone to buy based on their screen size. Neither is that a priority for them. Simply put, our Venn diagrams do not fully overlap.
