So you would erase a technology just because your "peers" use it for "cheating".
Sounds like a very boomerish reasoning, are you sure you are in 12th grade?
Too bad android gaming sucks as much as 10 years ago
What AI feature are you currently seeing on mobile?
I still feel like Nougat (+ dark themes obviously) was peak Android design.
That's one of the uses of AI I look forward to, not through a closed source paid service though.
No worries, I am not reading it as preaching.
Basically what I try to do is minimizing the interaction with Google and have some sort of redundancy.
So on my phone I connect to a VPN server and use NewPipe for music. I'm fine with that considering that it is just music and lots of people could have similar activity.
On desktop I connect to another VPN server and use Piped (or Invidious) because the content I watch is mainly from my country (different than the server location although I'd still avoid it no matter the location) and I feel like I could easily be the only one doing it, so even if it is a VPN IP I prefer to not associate it at all with my activity.
Also the server I usually use is blocked by Google anyway, same goes for others that I frequently use on desktop.
In the case I REALLY need to open a YouTube video I do it only on desktop through Mullvad Browser from yet another server that isn't blocked by Google
On top of that I don't have a google account and I don't use other Google services, not even Play Services on my phone.
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert of anything involved here, I just follow my instinct 🤣 so if something I do seems uselessly complicated, it probably is.
All the supposed changes are only about Firefox not Gecko and we haven't seen anything yet, so what's the direction they are headed in?
Just relax and see what comes instead of losing confidence before anything happens.
Yes, but it is still only an engine.
Also Mozilla hasn't done anything wrong with Gecko that could make one question its motivation or direction.
Yes, I use a VPN for basically everything I do online, but I still don't want Google to link the IPs I use to the content I'm interested in.
And I know NewPipe works with video, I meant I strictly use it for music (behind VPN) and nothing else for the reason above.
That's factually wrong, you should probably get out of your bubble from time to time.
