Qualcomm is my main fear also. They will ship it with lots of closed source firmware digitally signed with their private keys which users can't replace so expect a shitty bootloader and don't forget about always running hypervisior, trust zone and world most kept secret modem
Bcz being seen as a hacker is cool
You forget to add /s
You can use nvtop for monitoring your GPU, not as detailed as radeontop though but looks good
Finally it happens
I too use firefox based browser on linux, windows and android with lots of privacy focused extensions installed and don't have any of the problem he is describing.
maintaining a custom fork of a very active software project is very hard bcz google maintains chromium and they don't have to ask anyone if they want to add or remove something from their project but if you are a maintainer of a fork who adds more features and don't upstream your changes(in brave case google will not accept pull request from them for the feature they already remove like Manifest V3) maintaining the patches and constantly porting them to the newer version is a pain in the ass and imagine yourself working against large team of google engineers, they get paid to do this but not lots of people have resources to keep fixing all the PRs from Google devs which they make to break the adblockers to maximize Google profits.
its far better to use a browser which was made from ground up to support user privacy and features rather then patching a browser which was made to compromises their user privacy
But it will still be a bloat and take up resources like any deamon/service and resources are already very low on these devices!
Not connecting to internet is not a solution but buying dump TV is.
And what you will do with the preinstalled malware and bloatware?
