Thanks for the clear explenation! Further comments say it’s a pretty neutral identification, but to me it sounds like there’s two sides of it and one is bad. I presume this feeling is incorrect?
Pardon my ignorance, but what does cis mean?
If you main issue is the need to download apps from the Play Store, consider Aurora Store.
No app on GOS has root access. Not even Play services, the whole point of the sandboxing. You remain in control over the app’s permissions, as you mentioned.
[…] and as another user said they are
somewhatsandboxed.
I was shocked to find out that the hardest part of the installation was finding a Chromium based browser on PC lol
All you have to do to install GrapheneOS is press one button in the WebUI. No other ‘ROM’ has been easier to install.
Makes sense. Whenever I open Firefox, of opens on the (empty) homescreen where I can start typing in the URL bar right away. But everyone has got their own ways!
It gets me wondering, I have never use a search bar widget in my life and I find them rather setting in the way… My search bar is just 1 tap away inside Firefox, which is also on the desktop… I’ve not seen many people around me use it
Do people really use it?
I suggest Droid-ify over the F-Droid store for ease of use, but both work fine
Definitely do! I also suggest Droid-ify for FOSS apps :)
It does function just like any other phone so far I’ve tested. No app that simply doesn’t work. And if it doesn’t, you can simply exploit the GOS hardening in settings to improve compatibility. You overall have more control over any app, which I like
Both public traffic and driving sounds pretty cheap to me. Insurance, road tax and fuel gets me on 200 bucks a month… Public traffic takes way longer and is more expensive somehow… (Netherlands BTW)
And you just know it’s good because Wube doesn’t play around
I really like how Wube is putting so much efford into making Factorio 2.0 such a huge update! But it scares me how much content it brings even after 600 hours… Feels like starting from scratch
Eh, I think having a PiHole at home internet and a private DNS on phone is good enough for me. Not to mention uBlock configured with the Anti-Facebook list 🤷♂️
All big tech is. They got big for a reason. Though I find Mozilla much less of a thread than other corps like Google, Meta, Microsoft. Meta I find easy to block as none of their services are actually useful. Google is a tad bit harder, and Microshit creeps in on every spot and I don’t like it.
Yeah I found that out as I was looking for sources, but you guys are quick to comment, aha!
Waterfox was bought by an ad company.
Edit: According to this page it’s no longer the case, though I still am not completely comfortable with it.
I hate that most people don’t want to care for convient’s sake… “You’re only make your life harder for yourself”. I simply want to be in control, not the corpos.
